Publisher's Synopsis
A lonely woman in transit. A bullied boy with a secret. Can their friendship save their lives?
On the cusp of 40, long-time Goth Lena takes a Baltic Sea cruise hoping to meet someone who likes her for who she is. An 11-year-old boy considering suicide wasn't who she had in mind.
Their friendship grows after Lena talks Carter from the ledge, and Carter shares his deepest secret. But one evening, in her unsuccessful pursuit of an attractive fellow passenger, Lena almost forgets her young friend. Until he turns up missing.
Ship security labels it a suicide, and the grieving parents agree. Lena isn't convinced. But if the boy didn't jump, where is he? With mounting dread, she realizes it's up to her alone to find the child. But time is running out and self-doubt is creeping in. Lena must disocver the truth before the ship reaches its final destination....
