In the small fishing town of Amagansett on Long Island, the discovery of a dead young woman in the nets of fisherman Conrad Labarde disrupts a quiet coastal community. Returning from the Second World War, Labarde carries secrets of his own, while deputy police chief Tom Hollis investigates a murder hidden beneath layers of family history, social divisions and old rivalries. Set in the aftermath of the war, the novel portrays a vanishing way of life and the tensions between traditional fishermen and the wealthy newcomers transforming the coast.
