Deception Pass

Deception Pass by Emerson, Earl. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780345400697.

As a rebellious teen, Lainie Smith hooked up with a drifter named Charlie--and she may have been an eyewitness to murder in the shadow of cliff-walled Deception Pass, where the water runs river-swift and turbulent. When justice-- and the executioner--finally caught up with Charlie, Lainie was long gone. But somebody who knows the truth--the whole truth--about Lainies dark history is blackmailing her. Lainie wont tell P. I. Thomas Black why shes being blackmailed, only that her tormentor "knows things he cannot possibly know." Just how far will Blacks saintlike client go to bury her past forever?
