"The Cape's a-swirl with shiftin' sands. They drift out here, they pile up there. What's terra firma today is swallered up tomorrow." Marcia Howe is a confident, attractive, and self-assured widow living alone on the edge of the Cape Cod village of Wilton, a quiet place where little ever happens. Until one day, the shifting winds of the Atlantic wash a handsome stranger up on the shore by Marcia's home, on the same day that news of a jewelry robbery on Long Island. When the stranger hands Marcia a packet of jewels to hide, she must decide whether to trust her heart or her head. Sarah Bassett fills this cozy mystery with warmth, humor and genuine affection for the people living in the fictional town of Wilton.
