An alleged stalker.A six-character alphanumeric on a scrap of yellow paper.A murdered civil rights attorney.A disappearing client.And then that destiny thing.For Friday Harbor P. I. Scotia MacKinnon life is as good as it gets until she takes on a new client. Elyse Montenegro has lost a husband, a Berkeley civil rights attorney. The police are clueless. Elyse claims she's being stalked and now there is the unexplained island death of Elyse's best friend. Scotia's search into the past - aided by IT guru Zelda Jones and Friday Gazette publisher Jared Saperstein - will uncover a tangled thread of dark family secrets stretching from San Francisco Bay to a remote cabin in the mountains of Idaho. When the killer surfaces on the rocky island in a gathering winter storm, it might not be Scotia's destiny to make it out alive.
