stretch decades into the past… Assisted by handsome newspaper

pieces begin to fall into place, evidence points to John’s
involvement in her husband’s accident.

quiet town.
John
and Alicia receive an offer they can’t refuse…
When
John’s sister offers to babysit while she and John take a
much-needed vacation in New York City, Alicia is reluctant to leave
her children because of the disturbances in Cobble Cove. John assures
her the town is safe in the hands of Sheriff-elect Ramsay. Although
Alicia’s experience with and dislike of the former Long Island

trip.
