Bartender Betty Ann Beaumont's life changes forever when Deputy Sheriff Pete Branson reveals they've found her ex-husband, Tom Stearns. After thirty-five years, Tom's been pulled from the bottom of Blue Lake. With three murders in as many years, the patrons at the End of the Line ought to take the news in stride. But no one in a town like Del Sueño is above suspicion. Betty Ann finds herself trying to tie up all the loose ends from Tom's life. To her horror, she discovers that there may be much more to her ex-husband's past. A past that circles back to the violence of the 1960's. It soon becomes apparent that Tom's murderer is also tying up loose ends. And one of those ends is Betty Ann herself!
