The Red King plot
Grace Narayan is a smart, capable, and by-the-book police officer in the inner city. One day, she's forced to man a "punishment post" on the small, quaint island of St. Jory. Confronted with the forgotten and unsolved case of missing teenage boy Cai, Grace quickly discovers she must overcome scant evidence, unusual local characters, and the island's strange cult history to uncover the truth.
