The Storm’s Wake

About this book

On her seventh wedding anniversary, Nora Carter watches her husband and their five-year-old son walk down to the lake to fish. Minutes later, a single shot destroys the life they built.

The authorities consider a hunting accident. The powerful Carter family moves quickly to manage the aftermath. But Nora notices details that refuse to fit—and cannot forget her husband’s final word: family.

Grieving and unwilling to accept an easy explanation, she begins asking questions the people around her would rather leave unanswered. Beneath the life she built are instincts she never entirely left behind.

The Storm’s Wake by Vera Wrenford opens the Sabine Mercer thrillers with a story of devastating loss, guarded truths, and a woman determined to discover what happened at the water’s edge.
