Seventeen-year-old Embry Woods is no hero, despite what the locals think. Yes, she pulled a man out of a burning building, but she caused the blaze during a secret tryst with her best friend's ex-boyfriend. When someone begins blackmailing her, Embry must figure out who it is before he or she destroys everything Embry holds dear. A thrilling whodunit with a strong small-town coastal-Oregon setting.
