Summary

Dive Rescue Captain Cole McKenna has never worked a case like this, but who he's working with may prove more dangerous than the assignment. It's been a lifetime since Bailey Craig mangled his heart. Now she's back in town and he needs her expertise. Professor of Russian Studies Bailey Craig vowed never to set foot in Yancey, Alaska, again, but when her beloved aunt dies, she has no choice. Her plan of attack is simple: return for Agnes's funeral, get the family business ready for a quick sale, and then put Yancey and all the heartbreaking memories behind her for good. When Cole walks through her door, asking for her help on a murder investigation, the attraction between them is palpable. But for the sake of the victims, Bailey agrees. As the investigation escalates, so do their feelings for one another.

Publisher's Weekly Review

A man and woman who were once a couple confront their past in a brush with a treasure-seeking killer in this steadily paced thriller. Bailey Craig left her small Alaskan hometown 12 years ago and vowed she'd never return. But when her beloved Aunt Agnes dies in a plane crash, she's forced to revisit the place-and some of her demons. Meanwhile, a former boyfriend, Cole McKenna, runs a local diving shop and helps police whenever they need his underwater expertise. When the authorities find the body of an alleged tourist who rented from his shop and another not long after, he realizes he needs Bailey's expertise in Russian to help decipher some of the clues. With the help of a 19th-century diary, will they find the murderer or only end up in harm's way? Pettrey's debut novel is a thoughtful attempt to capture both love and suspense in this intricately plotted mystery. While the writing is clumsy at times, the novel introduces the reader to some memorable characters who must rely on their faith just as much as each other. Agent: Chip MacGregor.

Library Journal Review

Bailey Craig left Yancy, AK, and Cole McKenna behind 12 years ago and swore she'd never go back. When her aunt dies in a plane crash, she is forced to return but promises herself she will leave after the funeral. When the police find the body of a diver who rented equipment from Cole's diving shop, and then another diver turns up dead, Cole asks Bailey for help. Can they find the murderer before the murderer gets to them? Can they fight off the feelings that they still have for each other? VERDICT A nice freshman attempt to combine romance and suspense. The writing is sometimes choppy, but the story and characterizations save it. Pettrey is a new author to watch. Recommended for fans of Dee Henderson. (c) Copyright 2012.
