You'd think the tiny coastal town of Devil's Harbor had enough on its plate, between the imminent failure of its aging sewer works and the murder of a tree-sitting environmental-activitst-for-hire. But no. Swarms of pilgrims descend upon the town when local doomsayer Elspeth Hunsaker spies an ethereal image scorched into a crab cake at the Devil's Food cafe, and it's bedlam by the bay. A Molly Donovan mystery.
When the body of an unscrupulous land developer washes in with the tide, there are more suspects than mourners in the quirky town of Devil's Harbor, Oregon. Vince Grabowski was infamous for creating an environmental disaster, hatching shady investment schemes and trying to commercialize the tiny coastal community. A list of who-could-have-done-it includes Grabowski's less-than grieving widow, her eco-freak boyfriend, a marijuana-farming ice cream shop owner, a radio evangelist about to lose her listeners, the mayor's sex-crazed wife and a disgruntled artist who grudgingly perpetuates a hoax on gullible tourists. For Molly Donovan, the murder creates an opportunity to use the crime reporting skills she shelved when her father's heart attack forced her to return to Oregon. Chafing under the limitations of writing for The North Coast Flotsam, she revels in matching wits with investigators-until the killer frames her father.
A woman determined to hold onto her land. Financial sharks out to make a killing. A life-or-death struggle by the SEA OF REGRET. A year after the violence and tragedy of AN UNCERTAIN REFUGE, Kate Dalton's life is shattered again. Developers want Evie Hopkins' former dairy farm on the Oregon Coast, want it bad enough to sabotage the Castaway Beach Wildlife Rehabilitation Center she runs there. Aligned with developers and hoping to cash in on his inheritance early, Evie's son claims she's losing her mind and intends to prove that in court. The wildlife center is both home and place of healing for Kate, for Jackson Scovell who traded alcoholic oblivion for life with her, and for Way-Ray, a boy orphaned by murder. They fear for Evie and the sick and injured birds and animals she rescues and nurtures, but they vow to support her decision-whether it's to sell or to fight. As Evie agonizes over her choice, protests and politics divide the community. Threats and violence escalate. Then two hired killers trap Kate, Jackson, and Way-Ray at a remote cove. And time runs out.
