“Maggie Shayne’s books have a permanent spot on my keeper shelf.” —#1 NY Times Bestselling Author KAREN ROBARD

Hey, I’m Rachel de Luca, a self-help guru with a potty mouth and a penchant for crime-solving. My partner, soon to be husband if I can get over my paralyzing fear, is Mason Brown, a detective with the Binghamton PD.

Ten years ago, professional mermaid Eva Quaid disappeared without a trace from The Sapphire Club. Now, my niece Misty is working at the same club, doing the same job. Coincidentally, (not) Misty’s college roommate is in the thick of her self-produced true crime podcast about the same cold case. Misty has kept every bit of this from our way-too-close-for-privacy family.

None of this would be a big deal, except that I’ve been having nightmares. It’s my wedding day, and I look from my adoring groom to my twin nieces, face down in the shallows of the reservoir behind the altar.

I dreamt, too, of a dying mermaid who’s been trying to get my attention ever since.

When my sister Sandra says she’s worried about twin daughters, Mason and I agree to do a little snooping—only to find Misty has been keeping some big secrets, and is not where she’s supposed to be. Nobody knows where she is.

I’m pretty sure that Misty’s gone off the grid with her podcasting partner Zig to surveil their favorite suspects in the ten-year-old case of the missing mermaid.

I’m even more sure the mermaid is dead, and that her killer is determined to keep their oldest, deadliest secret, even if it means taking another young woman’s life.

I have to find my beloved niece before my visions come true—the way they always do.

About the Author
Maggie Shayne

New York Times and USA Today bestselling novelist Maggie Shayne has published 74 novels and novellas for five major publishers. She also spent a year writing for American daytime TV dramas The Guiding Light and As the World Turns and was offered the position of co-head writer of the former; a million-dollar offer she tearfully turned down. It was scary, turning down an offer that big. But her heart was in her books, and she’d found it impossible to do both.

Now, she is embarking on an exciting new leg of her publishing journey with dream-publisher, Oliver Heber Books and she’s having more fun than ever.

Maggie has three small-town contemporary series, The Texas Brand (9 books,) The Oklahoma Brands (6 books), and The McIntyre Men (6 books)

She has five paranormal romance series, including the groundbreaking 24-book Wings in the Night (Vampires,) The Immortals (4 books, Witches,) By Magic (4 books, Fay), The Portal (3 books, Witches) and now Wings in the Night: Fiona Files (1 book so far, Lycan and other.)

She is also the author of several romantic suspense and thriller series, including The Brown and de Luca Novels (8 books,) The Shattered Sisters (3 books) and Deep, Dark Secrets (6 books)

There are two stand-alone novels, Miranda’s Viking and Stargazer, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 novellas.

Maggie lives in a century-and-a-half old farmhouse in the rural hills of Cortland County NY with her husband Lance, who builds waterfalls for a living, and their dogs. There are always, always dogs.
