The Newcomer

Letty Carnahan is certain she knows who killed her sister, Tanya: Evan Wingfield, Tanya’s ex. Even in the grip of grief and panic Letty heeds her late sister’s warnings: “If anything bad happens to me - it’s Evan. Promise me you’ll take Maya and run.” Letty hits the road with her wailing four-year-old niece Maya. Letty is determined to out-run Evan and the law, but run to where? She checks into an uncertain future at The Murmuring Surf Motel, the winter home of a close-knit flock of retirees and snowbirds who regard this newcomer with suspicion and down-right hostility. Can Letty find romance as well as a room at the inn? With danger closing in, it’s a race to find the truth about Tanya and right the wrongs of the past.
