Marrow

They buried Sean Halloran at sea sixteen months ago. Wren watched the Coast Guard drop the wreath. She has not let go of the sweatshirt he wore the last time he came home. Then a body washes up on the north shore of Bainbridge Island, wearing Sean's wedding ring. Wren identifies the band with her own hands. The coroner says the body is not her husband. Sean had a second phone. Sean had a second wife. Across the Sound, in Port Orchard, a woman named Priya has been living as Mrs. Halloran for three years, and she has questions of her own. Together the two widows of a man who may not be dead will follow a trail of stolen marrow and smuggled coral from a research lab to the deepest water in Puget Sound — where the men who ran Sean's secret life are waiting to make sure neither woman ever reaches the shore. A Bainbridge Island mystery and a psychological thriller romance, for readers who want their love stories with salt and blood.
