Pieces of Hate: A Wendover House Mystery

By Melanie Jackson

A pirate's confession.
A cursed treasure.
A tide of vengeful ghosts rising from the sea.

Little Goose Island has always had its share of legends, but Tess MacKay is about to discover that some stories are far more than folklore.

Centuries ago, Nicholas Wendover-better known as Halfbeard the pirate-recorded a terrifying warning. He claimed to have seen the dead rise from the surf: drowned faces, barnacled bones, and restless spirits seeking judgment because they had not been laid to rest in consecrated ground.

Now the ghosts have returned.

Every decade, the drowned dead come searching for the treasure stolen from them: a set of specially minted coins created by an Aztecan wizard and known as the Pieces of Hate. But Nicholas Wendover is long gone, and whatever secrets he carried about the missing coins were buried with him.

Unless Tess can uncover the hiding place of the last lost coins, Little Goose Island may be overrun by spirits who have waited too long for revenge.

With Wendover House at the center of another dark mystery, Tess must follow the trail of a pirate's stolen treasure, a wizard's cursed coins, and a past that refuses to stay beneath the waves.

Pieces of Hate is the fourth book in Melanie Jackson's Wendover House Cozy Mystery Series, a gothic-tinged cozy mystery filled with island atmosphere, pirate secrets, cursed treasure, restless ghosts, and danger rising from the sea.
