Summary, etc.:

"When a severed hand washes ashore in the wealthy enclave of Palm Beach, Florida, the lives of two women--a lonely writer obsessed with the unsolved murder of her mother's best friend and a panicked wife whose husband has disappeared with their children--collide as the world shutters in the pandemic lockdown of 2020. A young woman's life seems perfect until her family goes missing. A writer lives alone with her dog and collects arcane murder statistics. What each of them stands to lose as they sneak around the do-not-enter tape blocking Reef Road beach is exposed by the steady tightening of the cincture encircling them."-- Publisher marketing.

Spring 2020: the world has ground to a halt: the residents of Palm Beach, Florida, are quarantined by a virus, while an useasonable heat wave descends. From a pretty house on the north end of the island a husband and children go missing while a wife delays reporting it. In an apartment behind a grocery story a writer works to solve a decades-old murder. On a famous surfing beach a human is found, and a passing surfer turns out to be a copy. Their paths will all converse on Reef Road. -- adapted from jacket
