Bones and Ferry Lights

A low tide in January uncovers what ninety winters have kept. Eleven men under a shelf of sand. All adult, all male, all buried the same night. All with the same healed break in the ribs — the mark of men who loaded cargo the same way for the same company. Dr. Owen Tsai comes over from Seattle to read the bones. Marisol Vance runs the deck on the boat he rides in on, and she has known about that stretch of beach since she was six, because her grandfather told her never to look. Some companies keep records. This one kept a beach. A Bainbridge Island horror mystery about a night crossing no one wrote down.
