On Dr. Elara Voss's first morning as Grayhaven County's chief medical examiner, a rain-soaked cemetery gives up a body that should not be there. The woman beneath Agnes Rill's damaged grave is Lena Orr, a dental assistant who vanished during Hurricane Sabine twenty-one years ago. Lena had discovered that someone turned an uncertain disaster identification into official fact. Before she could force the record open, she disappeared-and the county buried the consequence with her. As Elara reconstructs Lena's final days, the evidence draws together a dental practice, a funeral home, and the institutions that controlled Grayhaven's dead after the storm. Every record carries a limit. Every witness has chosen which truth to preserve. To prove who killed Lena, Elara must separate concealment from murder without letting the unresolved disappearance of her own sister contaminate the case. Because Grayhaven has learned how to survive its secrets. And one corrected name may expose another lie still waiting underground.
