Dark Moon Island
(2025)(The sixth book in the Detective Calista Gates series)
A novel by Bernadette Calonego
Horrific events took place years ago in Dark Moon Bay, a rugged cove on a lonely island in the wild Labrador Sea. The only house there is owned by James Drake, a wealthy man with secrets who pretends to be a generous patron of young talent.
Calista Gates, police chief in northern Newfoundland, suspects Drake of being involved in the disappearance of a 19-year-old woman three years ago. She believes he exploits young people for his own purposes. When she confronts him with her investigations on Dark Moon Island, she makes a macabre discovery.
Suddenly the past bursts open like a festering wound. Why did a family with seven children die in a house fire forty years ago? What does James Drake know about the bodies that Calista's team finds in gruesome graves?
Drake is an influential man. As Calista tightens the noose around his neck, she discovers a brutal truth that is beyond anybody’s imagination.
The author Bernadette Calonego whose books have appeared with Piper, Ullstein, and Edition M and have been translated into English, has lived for more than twenty years in Canada, where she has been inspired by the country’s wilderness and her expeditions to the north. The German version of her mystery novel Stormy Cove became a bestseller, and Oh, wie schön ist Kanada!, a nonfiction book about her experiences as a foreign newspaper correspondent, landed on the renowned bestseller list of the German magazine Der Spiegel.
