Publisher Description
She uncovered a piece of history--but can she make peace with her own?
When Acadia National Park ranger Scout Johnson discovers a weathered note near a remote lighthouse, she never imagines it will expose a century-old mystery. The cryptic message points to a forgotten shipwreck, a vanished treasure, and a lighthouse keeper's suspicious death. Seeking answers, Scout enlists Naki Dana, a thoughtful man whose Penobscot heritage provides crucial insights. As they venture deeper into Acadia's rugged wilderness, their unlikely partnership begins stirring feelings Scout didn't expect to find. But they aren't the only ones searching.
Chase Fletcher, a charming local journalist, sees this treasure hunt as his last opportunity to save his failing paper--and finds himself increasingly drawn to the ranger leading the search. With pressure mounting and loyalties tested, Scout must navigate a winding path between history and justice, truth and betrayal . . . and determine who--and what--deserves her trust.
Suzanne Woods Fisher weaves a contemporary romance filled with mystery, treasure hunting, and adventure as a park ranger uncovers a century-old shipwreck and dangerous secrets at Acadia National Park. Perfect for fans of mysteries and love triangles.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fisher's spirited latest National Parks Summers novel (after Capture the Moment) follows a motley crew on a scavenger hunt through northern Maine. When Acadia National Park ranger Scout Johnson finds a mysterious envelope near one of the park's abandoned lighthouses, she's amazed to discover a series of cryptic clues detailing the locations of caches of gold coins hidden throughout the park. Chief Ranger Tim Rivers recruits Wabanaki "Naki" Dana, a member of the Penobscot Nation and Acadia expert, to help Scout analyze the clues before any reckless tourists hear of the potential windfall. But it isn't long before the secret reaches Chase Fletcher, a headstrong journalist who believes the once-in-a-lifetime scoop could revive his family's failing local newspaper. Chase negotiates a spot on Naki and Scout's investigative team in return for delaying the story's publication, but inadvertently loses the envelope, raising the stakes. As Scout, Naki, and Chase race to collect the gold before it can fall into the wrong hands, Scout grapples with her faith, her burgeoning feelings for both of her companions, and the painful childhood memory that brought her to Acadia in the first place. The treasure hunt provides a strong, fast-moving engine for the story, while Scout's conversations with Naki about the park's Native American history add emotional depth. Series fans will want to dive in.
