When Joe and Tanja Shepherd set sail on their newly renovated sailboat, they are expecting a relaxing vacation on northern California's remote Lost Coast. Little do they know that a tropical storm is headed their way, and that a killer is making alternative plans for their weekend.

After a harrowing boat ride, Joe has a run-in with a local fisherman that almost turns violent. When it's all over, they're exhausted, cold, and soaked to the bone. Thankfully, the inn is just as beautiful, luxurious, and welcoming as they had hoped it would be. It seems the worst is over, until they learn that the owner has sold the resort and is about to lay off the entire staff. Tensions are rising as the storm hits, and it hits with a vengeance. The phone lines are down, cell phones aren't working, and the old fisherman who runs the lighthouse has gone missing. The next morning, the sheriff discovers the man's body. Worse yet, after Joe's earlier altercation, it looks like the detective might be the only suspect.

Tanja isn't about to let Joe be arrested for murder. Unfortunately, proving his innocence won't be as easy as it sounds.

This is Book Two of the "He said, She said" cozy mystery series.
