The Seafarer’s Secret

When an old gold coin is discovered in the pocket of a drowned woman, Police Chief William Templeton is shocked to be told that an identical coin was found on his estranged wife’s body, whose death a year previously was ruled accidental. When two more coins appear, William turns to friend and historian, Eva Knightly, to help him unravel their secret and find out the truth about the women’s deaths. Author Carol Ann Collins capably weaves the legend of Blackbeard through her enjoyable present-day mystery, set against the wild beauty of the North Carolina coastline. Lightly sprinkled with romance and rich in pirate history as well as intrigue, THE SEAFARER’S SECRET impresses with its nicely twisty and rewarding tale.
