Salt, secrets, and a killer sense of timing.Welcome to Gasper’s Cove, Nova Scotia – where beach clean-ups turn up murder clues and the past won’t stay buried. When a message in a bottle dated 1962 surfaces near the abandoned lighthouse, shopkeeper and sewing teacher Valerie Rankin thinks it’s just small-town gossip fodder – until a visiting lawyer falls to her death from the cliff and Valerie’s friend Catherine is arrested, with a quilting tool as key evidence. With a nosy ghost hunter, a secretive heritage officer, rum-runner legends, and a town split over saving its lighthouse, Valerie must stitch together the truth before history – and someone dangerous – strikes again.
