The Forty-Eight Hour Gap
Retired Treasury investigator Margot Sterling came back to Pelican Point expecting quiet. No active case. No yellow pad filling with notes. No reason to worry her daughter by admitting that retirement has never quite cured her of noticing what other people miss. Then Celeste Moreau arrives. Elegant, private, and precise, the new resident of Egret Tower claims to be a retired museum administrator from Montreal. But Margot sees what others do not: the way Celeste studies every exit, the way she opens locks without looking, the way her entire life seems carefully built around not being found. When Celeste is discovered dead only days after moving in, the community is ready to call it a tragedy. Margot is not.
