The Antique Dealer's Map

Antiques dealer Prue Halloway knows a valuable map when she sees one. The 1887 survey of Bainbridge Island she bought at an estate sale shows a cove that has never existed—at least, not on any modern chart. By morning, the historian who wanted to buy it is dead in his shop, and the map is gone from Prue's car. She has one thing left: photographs she took at the sale. With retired cartographer Neil Iverson, Prue reconstructs the shoreline and finds a quarantine anchorage the island buried in 1889—along with everyone who died there. The founding family's last descendant is funding a heritage survey to keep the cove off the record, and he has already killed once. A Victorian historical mystery for readers who read maps like confessions.
