Ten years ago, archivist Eliza Brightwood vanished from the Misty Cove Historical Society without a trace. No clues. No sightings. No Answers. Until now. When a new piece of evidence surfaces, Misty Cover -- security consultant, puzzle-solver, and unwilling magnet for trouble -- teams up once more with Detective Nathaniel Hawthorne and her four very opinionated cats: Oscar, Dot, Rambo, and Candace. Their search leads them far from Vermont to the fog-drenched shores of Wyndemere, Maine...where someone else is looking for Eliza, too. What begins as a hopeful rescue spirals into a dangerous chase involving a secretive smuggling network, a shadowy figure known only as The Patron, and enemies hidden in plain sight. With every clue uncovered, the threat grows -- and Misty must trust her instincts, her partner, and her fiercely loyal clowder to keep Eliza safe. From harbors shrouded in mist to a heart-stopping confrontation that pulls in the National Guard, Misty and her team refuse to give up. And when Eliza finally returns to Misty Cove, the town rallies to welcome her home and lay years of fear to rest.
