Publisher Description
Jane Bunker returns in her second case, Fisherman's Bend, solving a mystery that's anything but simple.
This time, Jane Bunker is being grabbed hook, line, and sinker. . .
After surviving a killer investigation, along with a couple of attempts on her life, Jane feels she’s finally earned a respite in her beautiful, coastal hometown of Green Haven, Maine. But her calm lasts only as long as it takes for Jane to walk past a local lobster boat and discover that its owner has vanished without a trace. And if that’s not enough to keep Jane off her hammock, there’s also the matter of the young mariner who allegedly died of a heroin overdose, a missing bait iron, and the red-painted corpse. What will it take for Jane to unravel the twists and turns in her latest series of maritime mysteries?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A large aquaculture corporation hires Jane Bunker, "newly deputized marine insurance investigator" of Green Haven, Maine, to document some vandalism aboard the research vessel Quest in bestseller Greenlaw's entertaining second mystery (after 2007's Slipknot). Strong sentiment against the company's proposed oyster farm from area fishermen and Native Americans, who have a longstanding dispute over fishing rights, hints at possible culprits. After leaving the Quest, Jane discovers an abandoned lobster boat, which leads to a body with a bait iron stuck in its chest that turns a missing person's case into a homicide. Chasing leads up and down the rugged Maine coast, Jane is dogged by a series of sinister mishaps that nearly get her killed. With action that works best when it's on the water and an appealing protagonist with room to grow, this cozy should win new fans for the author of The Hungry Ocean and The Lobster Chronicles, her nonfiction accounts of the sea-centered life.
