The Beacon's Last Breath

About The Beacon's Last Breath

Travel nurse Sandra Tungsten arrives in the fog-shrouded coastal town of Craggy Cove, Maine, expecting a quiet ten-week contract at Anchor Bay Memorial Hospital. But when the hospital's beloved volunteer historian is found dead at the base of the historic lighthouse, Sandra's therapy dog Hypo discovers something the police missed—a Victorian-era medical bag wedged in the rocks, containing century-old letters that expose a dark secret about one of the town's most prominent families. What begins as a tragic accident quickly unravels into something far more sinister.

The letters reveal that the Pruitt family's fortune—and their current eight-million-dollar land deal—is built on a foundation of lies. As Sandra pieces together evidence from the crime scene, she realizes the historian was murdered to keep the past buried. But in a small town where everyone knows everyone, asking the wrong questions can be dangerous.

With help from a gruff harbor pilot, a meticulous hospital archivist, and Hypo's uncanny nose for trouble, Sandra must navigate the treacherous waters between historical truth and present-day greed.
