What you need to know before your trail

Laura and Casey were once inseparable: as they floated on their backs in the sunlit lake, as they dreamed about the future under starry skies, and as they teamed up for the wild scavenger hunts in their small California lakeside town. Until one summer night, when a shocking betrayal sent Laura running through the pines, down the dock, and into a new life, leaving Casey and a first love in her wake.But the past is impossible to escape, and now, after seventeen years away, Laura is pulled home and into a reunion with Casey she can’t resist–one last scavenger hunt.

With a twist: this time, the list of clues leads to the settings of their most cherished summer memories. From glistening Jade Cove to the vintage skating rink, each step they take becomes a bittersweet reminder of the friendship they once shared. But just as the game brings Laura and Casey back together, the clues unravel a stunning secret that threatens to tear them apart…

The city of San Francisco is nearby –

To my left, I could just make out the graceful, ruddy lines of The Golden gate holding it all it, because without it such aching beauty would escape to sea.”
“The wide grid of streets and houses swept down the Marina to the bright blue bay flecked with white sails, all the way to the hills of Tiburon rising from the opposite shore”

There’s the park the girls visit on Saturdays and the burger snack bar down at the beach giving a flavour of a nice, care free existance until one dark day….
