False Bearing (Coraline Wescott Mysteries)
A ship runs aground in clear weather.
No storm. No error. No reason.
But someone moved the truth.
When lighthouse keeper Coraline Wescott records the wreck of the Aldermere, one detail refuses to settle:
The chart is wrong.
Not by chance.
Not by drift.
By design.
What begins as a discrepancy becomes a pattern.
A pattern becomes a system.
And the system leads to a quiet operation hidden behind official approvals, tidy offices... and years of unexplained deaths.
With nothing but a logbook, a decades-old survey, and records no one thought to question, Coraline builds a case no one asked for-and no one wants.
Because proving the truth is one thing.
Getting it recognized is another.
As pressure closes in from the very institutions meant to protect the coast, Coraline has one advantage:
She doesn't argue.
She records.
And records don't lie.
False Bearing is a slow-burn, atmospheric maritime mystery about precision, integrity, and the cost of getting it exactly right-when everyone else benefits from it being wrong.
