EBOOK
About
An intelligent and thrilling literary fiction
whodunit for fans of Delia Owens and Jacqueline Winspear
The Second World War is
raging overseas, but life remains painfully quiet on the rugged New England
fishing island of Fourth Cliff-an afterthought of an island now home to only
aged fishermen, drunks, and an Italian POW camp guarded by damaged and subpar
American soldiers.
With her husband Archie,
the island's beloved police captain, off fighting in the Marines, Mary Beth
Swann steps into his role, without the respect of Fourth Cliff's hardscrabble
residents. When a murdered POW surfaces in a fisherman's net, and soon more
bodies appear, Mary Beth's hold on order and rule wears thin. She must rely on
the help of a simple-minded deputy, a disgraced doctor, and a mob-connected
mainlander to find the person responsible…all while Swann's loneliness,
uncertainty, and self-doubt threaten to derail her investigation.
