Description: An intelligent and thrilling literary fiction whodunit for fans of Delia Owens and Jacqueline Winspear.
With her husband Archie, Fourth Cliff's beloved police captain, off fighting in the Marines in WWII, Mary Beth Swann steps into his role. When a murdered POW surfaces in a fisherman’s net, followed by more bodies, Mary Beth’s hold on order and rule only weakens.
Determined to find the killer and prove herself, Swann must rely only on the help of a simple-minded deputy, a disgraced doctor, and a mob-connected mainlander.
