A lonely woman in transit meets a bullied boy with a secret. Can their unlikely friendship save their lives?
On the cusp of 40, long-time Goth Lena takes a Baltic Sea cruise hoping to meet someone who likes her for who she is. An 11-year-old boy considering suicide was not who she had in mind.
Their friendship grows after Lena talks Carter from the ledge, and the boy shares his deepest secret. Yet that evening, in her unsuccessful pursuit of an attractive fellow passenger, Lena almost forgets her young friend. Until he turns up missing.
Ship security labels it a suicide, and the grieving parents agree. Lena isn’t convinced. But if the boy didn’t jump, where is he? With mounting dread, she realizes it is up to her alone to solve the mystery and save the child. But time is running out and self-doubt creeping in. Lena must discover the truth before the ship reaches its final destination….
Book One in the Concealing Sea series.
