#2 The Chesapeake Novels - Bailey Jones has always been a misfit in a town that sets a lot of store on family lineage, old money and homes that overlook the Chesapeake. As he makes plans to leave Marshyhope Creek for good, a couple of things delay his departure: a developer unearths a long-dead homicide victim on land that, until a few weeks ago, had belonged to Bailey; and Baily's ex-love, Chloe Richards, is back in town. The first piece of news sends a shiver down the spines of four of the town's most prominent citizens, each of whom has something from their past that could connect them to the murder—-and with dire consequences. And the second piece of news, about Chloe Richards, sends a different kind of shiver down Bailey's spine, and it is not an unpleasant sensation. Oh, but it's going to be a long, HOT summer!
