River's edge / Terri Blackstock.
Ben Jackson is sure to defeat Jonathan Cleary in Cape Refuge's mayoral race, until his wife turns up missing the day before a major debate. Suspecting foul play, Police Chief Cade launches an island-wide search. But it takes a psychic's "vision" to point police to the riverside--and Lisa's body. The evidence implicating Ben in his wife's murder is convincing. But as a local scandal escalates into a national media circus, Cade's instincts tell him to dig deeper. And he's not the only one. Blair Owens of the Cape Refuge Journal is using her investigative skills to uncover a rat's nest of dirty secrets. But Blair's methods are jeopardizing her relationship with Cade, and an unsolicited prediction from the psychic only adds to her troubles. Is the man's so-called gift truly from God, as he claims?
As the mayoral race heats up on the island of Cape Refuge, Jonathan realizes that he is not the frontrunner. Sam Sullivan seems to have the position locked. But when Sullivan's wife turns up murdered, things begin to shift. Lisa is a successful real estate agent on the island, but when scuba divers pull her body out of the water in the exact location where her husband was fishing that day, her best friend and business partner has some theories about what might have happened. Rani Baxter, the African American woman who's known Lisa since college, claims that Lisa's husband, Sam--the mayoral hopeful--had been getting love letters from a woman for the past few weeks. Lisa confided that she was concerned he was having an affair, even though he swore to her that the letters were a hoax. As Police Chief Cade investigates the murder, he uncovers possible scenarios. Did Sullivan fear Lisa's reprisals? Did he kill her to shut her up? Was Lisa, herself, involved in something that would have made Sam look bad and cost him the election? Did he kill her to get her out of the way? Or did her death have anything to do with her decade-long quest to get pregnant? Do the fertility clinics she'd been frequenting--the same ones Morgan has been visiting--hold any clues to her death? Was this the act of a jealous lover? A dangerous client? Or is this all about the election?
