What’s this?
When Matty Swift, an ancestry buff from a small town in coastal Maine, wins a prestigious scholarship to the state university honors program, she and her friend Rachel become curious about her benefactor’s background. Their inquiry starts innocently enough but soon escalates as they uncover disturbing clues to the man’s family secrets and a tarnished legacy that could tank his political plans. They also discover he is very real present-day menace to their beloved hometown.
But their sleuthing does not go unnoticed. As they delve deeper, unseen forces make themselves known in a string of frightening incidents. And when their parents head off to a family cabin, the two find themselves alone in the dangerous crosshairs of those who would stop at nothing to keep the family skeletons safely in the ground.
The author spends half the year on the coast of Maine, in a small town not unlike Percy Harbor, immersed in writing, reading, sailing, walking the beach, and spending time with children, grandchildren, cousins, nieces, and nephews.
