About Death on Gwynn's Island

When Deputy Jimi Jimenez crosses Virginia’s last working swing bridge into the teeth of a brutal nor’easter, he expects a routine wellness check on storm-battered Gwynn’s Island. Instead, his headlights sweep across a scene that shatters the island’s sense of security. From the porch of a rustic fishing cottage, he discovers something that stops him cold: blood splattered across the walls just inside the front door. This is no routine call. For Sheriff Amy Wade, newly elected and already fighting whispers that she is in over her head, this murder is more than a crime—it’s a reckoning. The victim is no local salt, but a Richmond businessman whose stately Monument Avenue home stands worlds apart from the island’s oyster-shell drives and working docks. What—or who—brought him to his secluded, multi-generational cottage in the middle of a storm? What rivalries and betrayals lie hidden within the chaos of the crime scene—or beneath the surface of the victim’s seemingly placid world?
