The Echoes of Whispering Bay (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798187226511)

A hidden history. A town built on secrets. A legacy worth killing for.

When fourth-grade history teacher Claire Sterling uncovers clues pointing to the legendary, long-lost shipwreck S.S. Twin Sisters, she thinks she's merely stumbled onto the academic discovery of a lifetime. Deep within the waters of Whispering Bay, Michigan, lies a fortune in late-19th-century copper bullion-and someone else already knows it's there.

When the town's wealthy mayor is found murdered at the local regatta gala, the quiet resort community is thrust into a gripping investigation. Teaming up with the sharp-witted town librarian, Claire plunges into a treacherous labyrinth of small-town politics, altered public records, and century-old land deeds.

From cracking a hidden digital safe in a dead man's mansion to a daring midnight escape through rainy pine forests, Claire and her unlikely allies race against the clock to decode a faded 1894 captain's log. But as the dark truth unravels, they realize the killer isn't hiding in the shadows of the marina.

With a storm rolling in off Lake Michigan Claire must use her historical intuition to outmaneuver a corrupt man before the evidence-and her life-are buried forever at the bottom of the lake.
