Secrets at Saltwick

About this book

A librarian dead at the foot of a cliff. A working lantern by his side. And an official verdict of "accident" that smells worse than low tide at Saltwick harbor.

THE SETTING
Saltwick, Maine, doesn’t advertise its ghosts with neon signs. It’s a town of salt-stained hulls and jury-rigged boats where the March air smells of woodsmoke and an approaching blizzard. But beneath the picturesque cliffs, the earth breathes with a rhythmic pressure that vibrates in your back teeth—an echo of a secret older than the United States.

THE DETECTIVE
Retired homicide detective Sam Blackwood came to Saltwick for answers, not a new case. But thirty years in Portland taught her one thing: boot prints on frosted grass don't lie, even when the local police prefer to look the other way.

THE ECCENTRICS
• Ezra Moonhaven: A gallant 19th-century captain’s ghost trapped in an opal ring who can hear the "stuttering" heartbeat of the town's hidden power node.
• Moss: A fiercely loyal Border Collie who can navigate high-tech motion sensors with the calm of a dog who has truly seen it all.
• Dora Finch: An eighty-year-old former postmistress who has held the secrets of every resident for forty years—and has been waiting specifically for Sam.

THE MYSTERY
Arthur Pendleton wasn’t just a librarian; he was the seventh in an unbroken line of acoustic Guardians. He left behind a hidden room full of brass bells and evidence that a ruthless organization is drilling into the very bedrock of reality. They aren’t looking for minerals—they want to trigger a catastrophic energy release that will send the Saltwick cliffs sliding straight into the Atlantic.

Can Sam master a four-hundred-year-old resonance protocol and introduce herself to the crystals before the platform fires its final sequence on Saturday night?
