But her peaceful life shatters when a body washes ashore during a fierce storm—the town's most disliked historian, who was trying to have the lighthouse decommissioned. The police call it a tragic accident, but Cora finds a clue in the lighthouse lens: a piece of a ship's log that shouldn't be there. When she realizes the lighthouse lamp was deliberately misaligned the night of the death, she knows it was murder. With help from her loyal seal, Finn, and the lighthouse's enigmatic volunteer, a man with his own connection to the sea, Cora delves into the town's history. She uncovers a riptide of motives, from stolen shipwreck treasures and forged historical documents to a century-old feud between lighthouse families.
