YA
During the cleanup after a brutal hurricane, Eliza finds a note linked to the death of a teenage girl twenty-five years ago. But Stone Cove's islanders, including her parents, refuse to talk about the incident. Once it picks up steam, Myers's debut is suspenseful, but after the first few chapters, the hurricane disaster gets short shrift (where's FEMA or the like?).
