Ellie Blackwood just wants to keep the light burning.
As the lighthouse keeper at Beacon Point, Maine, Ellie has learned to live with solitude, routine, and the quiet grief left behind when her husband vanished at sea three years ago. The lighthouse is her refuge. Her cat, Captain Barnaby, is her only constant companion.
Then the phantom ship appears.
At dawn, a ghostly three-masted schooner emerges from the fog near the treacherous Devil's Teeth-vanishing as quickly as it arrives. When a young fisherman who reported the sighting is found dead beneath Ellie's lighthouse, the town calls it an accident.
Ellie knows better.
Her cat senses death before it comes.
A restless spirit is haunting her kitchen.
And the past is clawing its way back to the surface.
With the reluctant help of a reclusive elderly witness, a conflicted deputy sheriff, and a growing stack of secrets her late husband left behind, Ellie uncovers a buried truth linking a Prohibition-era shipwreck to a modern smuggling operation-and to the deaths of those who got too close.
But Beacon Point protects its own.
As threats mount and powerful figures close ranks, Ellie must decide whether she's willing to risk everything-including her life-to give voice to the dead and expose a crime generations in the making.
