Private detective Em Montgomery is hunting for a missing woman. She expected dead ends. She did not expect a dead girl who refuses stay buried. Now Em is knee-deep in fog, small-town secrets, and the uneasy sense she's being watched by more than wildlife. Cardinal mixes a sharp wit with sharper danger to get under your skin. And follow you home.
