"When Jane Douglas returns to the Shetland Islands, she thinks she has escaped the dark shadows of her childhood. She carves out a simple life on the bleak, windswept island, working at the salmon fishery and spending quiet evenings at home. And for the first time in her life, she's happy. Then the body of her long-missing mother is found in a flooded quarry. Her mother disappeared when Jane was a teenager, following the death of her baby brother. Jane has spent her life running from her past, living in fear she inherited her mother's demons. Now, she must face what actually happened on that fateful, tragic day twenty years ago..." -- back cover.
