Book Description
A teen without a family. A town with a dark history. A body in the lake. Abandoned by her own parents, forgotten by the foster care system, Bailey's learned to weather every storm-except the one that rages inside. Is a family of her own too much to ask for? Her only anchor is Tommy, captain of the famous Lake Geneva Mailboat for the past fifty years, as reliable as the mail itself. Delivering letters by boat in the Wisconsin resort town, Bailey's learned that the occasional splash into the lake as she jumps to the piers is just part of her job. But discovering a dead body tied to a pier post is far from routine... Bailey's fears only grow when the police investigation spills over into her abusive foster home-threatening to take her away from Lake Geneva entirely. When it comes to the surface that Tommy has close ties to the chief suspect, his wounds from the past threaten to close him off from Bailey completely, snuffing out her last beacon of hope. Will the mystery of the body in the lake be solved before a killer destroys Bailey's last chance at finding a family? Or will a madman's sinister plot leave her marooned forever? The End of the Pier is the first book in the thrilling Mailboat Suspense Series. If you like twists that leave you breathless, complex characters you can't help but love, and a real-life setting that comes to life on the page, then you'll love Danielle Lincoln Hanna's enthralling tale!

Bailey Johnson landed the coolest summer job ever: mail jumper on the historic Lake Geneva Mailboat. Falling into the lake is pretty much a hazard of the job. Finding a dead body underwater is pretty much not. One mistimed jump restarts a manhunt, unsolved since before she was born, and reopens old wounds that were only half healed. As if that weren't bad enough, she's stuck in the most epically abysmal foster home ever, since she first entered "the system" eleven years ago. Abuse at home, bullets flying in the street ... and she thought prom was bad. All she wants is a family of her own. Is that so much to ask for? A forever family--provided she survives the summer.
