In the quiet coastal town of Grey Elm Cove, whispers travel faster than the tide. When the beloved curator of the maritime museum is found dead at the pier in what looks like a tragic accident, two unlikely partners-Nora Fenn, a former librarian who treasures old books more than small talk, and Jonah Park, a handyman with a sailor's eye for detail-start to question the official story. Their search for answers uncovers forged letters, hidden claims, and family secrets that could redraw the very map of the town. Each clue peels back a layer of history, revealing that behind the friendly storefronts and café chatter lies a tangle of long-kept betrayals and ambitions simmering just beneath the surface. As the annual regatta approaches, deception rises like a storm tide, and what began as curiosity becomes a desperate race to expose the truth before another life is claimed. With friendships tested, loyalties shaken, and a community's past colliding with its future, Nora and Jonah must decide who to trust when everyone has something to hide. Step into Grey Elm Cove where every letter, every glance, and every silence could be the key. Open the book and uncover the mystery.
