Alta marea per un delitto
Kate vive con la mamma e i fratelli a casa della nonna da quando il papà è annegato. O almeno così le hanno sempre detto. Finché l'arrivo di una lettera misteriosa la spinge a interrogarsi per la prima volta sulla sua scomparsa: Frederick è davvero morto? Perché nessuno parla mai del suo passato, quasi fosse stato inghiottito dall'acqua come lui? La nonna sa molto più di quanto dice, e la mamma sembra nasconderle dei segreti. Kate non si scoraggia e, in sella alla sua bicicletta, inizia un'attenta indagine per raccogliere gli indizi e far affiorare alla superficie tutta la verità.
