Carmel McAlistair has a new job at the local archives, a blossoming relationship with Inspector Darrow of the RNC and growing sense of home in St. Jude Without, Newfoundland. What could possibly go wrong? When a skeleton clutching a partial treasure map is unearthed below a city street, Carmel finds out how tenuous her grip on happiness is. Her neighbors believe the pirate loot is their inheritance. Her archivist boss guards the secret jealously until she is found murdered - with Carmel, covered in her blood and standing over her, the chief suspect.It doesn't look good for Carmel and, to make matters worse, Inspector Darrow is forced to recuse himself from her case because of conflict of interests, leaving her to the mercy of the local constabulary's most notoriously vicious investigator. Meanwhile, the safest place for her might be to remain in jail....Pirates, murder, jealousies and tested loyalties swirl in "The Iron Dog," the third volume in the Carmel McAlistair series, set on Canada's most easterly coast.
