In a quaint island town called Gull''s Rock Harbor, off the coast of Cape Cod, the discovery of a body - thirty-two year old Jack Brennan - disrupts the lives of many. Rookie Detective Tom Chen takes on the seemingly endless effort to solve the mystery behind Brennan''s death. As the story unfolds, we meet Meredith Kingsley, a reclusive pianist who loved Jack Brennan feverishly and yet must accept the loneliness that threatens to swallow her up. With surprising twists, Ann Burkhardt renders a tale that is compassionate and haunting at the same time, as each of the characters struggle with their unique frailties and search for ways to cope with adversity. Gull''s Rock Harbor casts a suspicious glance at romantic love as it portrays the art of deception and the sting of desperate loneliness. Finally, it highlights the importance of remaining true to oneself, no matter what hardship one might face.
