Former piano prodigy-turned FBI agent Scott Drayco is still suffering nightmares from his last case as a private consultant. To add insult to injury, he's bequeathed an unwanted and rundown Opera House in Cape Unity, a down-on- its-luck seaside village on Virginia's Eastern Shore where vacation homes once provided a playground for the rich.

His hopes for a quick sale are dashed when a new client is found murdered in the Opera House, the letter “G” mockingly carved into his chest. Working with a wary Sheriff and his attractive Deputy, Drayco is pulled into a tangled scheme of jealousy and betrayal that reaches across the Atlantic into some of the darkest days of human history. But will he be able to untangle the web before the tensions in Cape Unity explode into more violence and he becomes the next victim?
