The motto that welcomes travellers to Seward Island, a lovely, quiet community off the coast of Washington State. But Seward has suffered an inexplicable tragedy. A fifteen-year-old girl from the island's most prominent family has been found brutally slain. For Ginger, a young earnest detective, and for Ruben Martinez, the battle-weary Mexican-born chief of police, the murder is baffling. While building the case against their Jewish suspect, Ginger begins a relationship with Ruben that is at once forbidden and exhilarating. As her personal life collides with her job as a detective, she begins to have serious doubts about the work she is doing. Is she the heroine of Seeward Island - or part of a terrible rush to judgement? What is more important: to be a good police officer, or to obey the dictates of her conscience?
