Dead Reckoning at Widow's Point
A Nautical Ghost RomanceBy Margot OstranderLength9h 30m
About this audiobook
The wreck of the Mercy Rook has waited a hundred and twenty years for someone to find the truth. Marine salvage diver Olive Iverson has charted wrecks on four continents, so the contract off Widow's Point should be routine: survey a century-old steamer, log the debris field, collect the fee. She does not expect the voice. It comes through her regulator on the first deep dive, low and calm, calling her by name. It comes again on the second. By the third she knows the voice belongs to Silas Rook, master of the Mercy Rook, dead with his crew since 1899, and that he is not warning her away. He is asking her to finish what he started. Her employer, Hollis Vance, wants a fast survey and a signed release. The maritime historian aboard wants a discovery to publish. The local deputy wants the dive crew gone before the season turns, and he has his reasons. Olive wants the one thing she has never allowed herself since her father drowned: to know why the sea takes the people it takes. With her oldest friend on deck and a dead captain in her ear, Olive descends past the point where light gives out and judgment should begin. Every dive strips away a little more of the surface, and what waits below Widow's Point is not treasure. It is testimony.
