Book Cover & Preview Text
Now he lay reeling, choking, retching, nearly frozen on this little patch of island sand, his confidence as weak as his body. This was a foreign land where people were his avowed enemies. But he hated the war and abhorred killing. The confines of the U-boat made him feel like a sardine packed in oil and grease, breathing musky sweat and smoke odors, eating food that tasted like diesel fuel. He had no privacy. Baths were salt water wash-ups. How many times he felt like screaming and running from that prison, with no place to go, until they reached the targeted bay.

About the Book
The prospect of nearly a week on a Maine island with fellow newspaper staffers and spouses appeals more to Astrid than it does to Abram. She believes it will be a well-earned respite from work for everyone. However, at the annual Fairchance College Fourth of July fair, a drowning ends festivities, and requires Abram, now a Deputy Sheriff, to remain on duty and miss the island retreat. The drowning is only the tip of the iceberg, as one after another tragedy strikes. On the island, Astrid believes she has unearthed a mystery. Or is it a figment of her imagination?
