From author Alicia Bessette comes an all-new mystery series featuring Callie Padget, a former reporter turned bookshop clerk in the Outer Banks who is pulled into a deadly web of secrets when a mysterious fall at a lighthouse echoes a tragedy from her past. When Callie is laid off from her reporting job, she returns to her hometown of Cattail Island and lands a gig at the local bookstore—the same one where she found comfort after her mother died. In fact, the anniversary of her mother’s infamous death is approaching. Years ago, Teri Padget tumbled from the top of the lighthouse. As islanders are once again gossiping about the tragedy, devastating news strikes: the lighthouse has claimed another victim. Eva Meeks, of Meeks Hardware. The police are calling it suicide, but Callie does not believe Eva jumped any more than she believes her mother did—especially because Callie knows that before her death, Eva had dug up a long-forgotten treasure hunt that could have put a target on Eva’s back. In Callie’s search for answers, she enlists the help of some beloved books and several new friends, including the handsome local martial arts instructor, Toby Dodge. But when another death rocks Cattail Island, Callie must face her fears alone. As she earns enemies in pursuit of the truth, Callie knows she will either uncover the killer or become a victim herself. Mystery Writers of America’s Lilian Jackson Braun Memorial Award nominee

Henry Walsh is back to solve a puzzling mystery in Fernandina Beach when a lifelong friend confesses to a murder... He refuses to believe Charlie Senecal is a killer. But the circumstances surrounding the crime raise far too many questions. And if the man Henry’s known since the third grade is innocent, then why would he confess to a murder he didn’t commit? It just doesn’t add up. But Henry knows Charlie hasn’t been himself since he lost his job as police chief. And with his wife now gone, his state-of-mind has to be questioned... Henry’s instincts take over as he ignores the facts others choose to accept. But his way of thinking could lead him into trouble, as he heads north of the border looking for answers. It’s clear the cops aren’t the only ones who want Henry out of their way. Just as he starts to make headway, he’s thrown into a dangerous situation. But he’s made a promise to his friend, and knows it’s more than just his own life that’s at risk...
