Although Portland, Maine, CPA Ellen Hartman knows her meeting with valued client and grieving father, Dr. Tom Reynolds, will be difficult, she’s not prepared for the bombshell he drops. As if it’s not bad enough that Tom and Lucy’s young son, Ben, is dead after embarking on a solo journey on the family sailboat, now Tom has just been fired from the surgical practice he founded and nurtured for thirty years. When Ellen learns she has been fired as the practice’s accountant, she questions why his partners have turned against them. Are they hiding something, and if so, what? To complicate matters, Lucy is suspicious about the real cause of her son’s death. Now there are two mysteries to unravel. Are they related? She enlists her right-hand accountant, feisty, whip-smart Julie Benoit, to hold down the fort in Portland while Ellen and Lucy travel to Miami Beach to search Ben’s sailboat for answers to his suspicious death. Julie uses the opportunity to employ questionable research techniques that lead to a surprising revelation. Will they find resolution to both mysteries and help Tom and Lucy navigate through grief to find their way back to each other?
