Title: Murderous Past - Karen Young - book
Summary :
An explosion, flames, screams... Kate Madison can't shake this nightmare that haunts her nights and takes her back to a dramatic moment in her childhood: during a boat trip off the coast of Louisiana, the sailboat her family was on suddenly caught fire. Little Kate narrowly escaped death. But her father disappeared forever into the waves. Having become an emergency room doctor in Boston, Kate has buried this memory deep within her.
Until the day when, unjustly suspended from her duties, she decides to return to Bayou Blanc, the place of her childhood, with the hope of finding peace there. But the atmosphere there is oppressive, and threats seem to weigh on all the members of her family... Until a new, atrocious death forces her to lift the veil on this dark page of her childhood that she has buried deep within herself.
