Her name is Michelle Mitchell, but friends call her Mitch. For years this tough-talking single mother has been making ends meet the hard way: deepwater welding in the Gulf of Mexico. Then, after the "accidental" death of her estranged father, she returns home to the small town of Huron Harbor, Michigan—and finds that he was involved in some very lethal business. Mitch suspects the worst: her father was murdered. And before he died, he was gripped by fear. Why else was he keeping loaded guns inside his isolated cottage and planning a drastic move to Baja? Soon Mitch is digging into his shady past and discovering shattering secrets about her family—and a shocking plot that threatens her very life.
