Description:
In Book 2, detective Nancy Caldwell returns to uncover the trails of two survivors from the wreck of the 1717 pirate ship Whydah and follows it the tropical island of Antigua and back to Cape Cod, searching for clues to shared treasure.
Brief description: When the author and her husband Tim, a professional artist, turned forty in the late 1980s, they moved with their three teenagers from Ohio to Cape Cod into a sea captain's house, circa 1880. The Cape's history and brilliant natural light drew them in; this was a place where Tim would paint and Barbara could write. A storyteller at heart, Barbara's imagination took flight after she unearthed a mysterious pattern of red bricks under ten inches of soil behind her barn, and found a beautiful blue-flowered pottery shard on the tidal flats of Brewster. She conjured up a connection to an old Cape legend about Maria Hallett and her pirate lover Sam Bellamy, captain of the wrecked ship The Wyhdah. She is an International Best Selling Author, a Member in Letters of the National League of American Pen Women, International Thriller Writers, Sisters In Crime, and President of Cape Cod Writers Center. Always a journal writer, she is fascinated by history and writes a blog about the unique facts and myths of Cape Cod.
