Description: In the dead of night, well-known Washington, D.C. journalist Cassie Danforth receives a startling call. Her father has only hours to live. She rushes home to Clayton Landing, North Carolina, just in time to hear her father's last wish-that Cassie leave D.C. behind and return to Clayton Landing. Cassie relocates to the small Southern town, but can't help but wonder why her father insisted she return home. Cassie soon discovers her father had secrets, as they begin to reveal themselves in disturbing ways. A bizarre murder investigation throws the town into a tailspin, and a handsome, mysterious stranger arrives bearing unnerving tales about Clifford's political activities. The more Cassie digs, the more she realizes the murder and her father's shady past might be connected. When those connections lead her to an elite and powerful group of politicians called the Pinnacle Seven, Cassie plunges into a world of danger and intrigue, one that may end up costing Cassie her life.
