Two centuries of silence. One map to break it.
Two centuries ago, a light on the cliffs at Pentreath Cove lured a ship onto the rocks — and made a fortune for the man who founded the village's most beloved charity.
When a hand-drawn map surfaces at a small Exeter auction house, it should be nothing more than a curiosity: faded ink, an old ship's name, a stretch of coastline long since softened by time. Instead, within a week, two people are dead — the specialist who authenticated it, and a descendant of the drowned crew who spent a lifetime trying to prove what really happened on Blacksand Ledge.
DI Rowan Penhallow and DS Marcus Trewe are pulled into a village that guards its history as fiercely as its coastline — where the Kestell Maritime Heritage Trust funds the school, the food bank, and the lifeboat station, and where nobody wants to hear that its founder's fortune was built on deliberate murder.
Genre: Cozy Mystery
