Description:

Ellie loved her life in The Cut—there was no question about it—despite the endless cycle of an identity crisis, imposter syndrome, and…mild to moderate racism.

Until Ellie’s father, died while at sea, doing some research on the Royal Merchant. What’s worse, he never would have been in that situation…had it not been for Big John Routledge’s insistence. A bitter reality reminded Ellie and her mom as they tried to navigate their lives without him.

Since then, her mom forbade any mention of the famous shipwreck at their house. His office locked away, Big John scorned, and a family with a gaping hole that was Charlie Chen.

Later, John B. searches for the Royal Merchant’s lost gold, and Ellie launches an investigation of her own, questioning the legitimacy of her father’s death. Soon, the carefully woven story of his death reveals itself as…murder.

Ellie is determined to rip apart the web of lies as the serene façade of Outer Banks, bit by bit, and becomes part of something much bigger than she initially thought.

But while she seeks answers, is she prepared to reopen raw wounds? Or will she end up pushing away the people who have always been there for her?
