Six months after exposing a century of town secrets, Claire Dalton and Gabe Hayes are back-and the tide is bringing in a dangerous new mystery.
When Claire Dalton and master restorer Gabe Hayes are brought in to evaluate the Vance Estate-a crumbling, fog-drenched 1920s cliffside mansion slated for selective demolition-they expect a routine architectural salvage job. But the past refuses to stay buried along the coast.
Deep beneath the mansion's pantry, hidden behind a copper-clad hatch in a subterranean vault, Claire and Gabe uncover a custom mahogany box containing a 1920s hydrophone assembly and recorded copper wax cylinders. What begins as a historic nautical find quickly unravels into a high-stakes investigation when the recordings reveal that a tragic accidental shipwreck decades ago was deliberately provoked using underwater acoustic signals.
As the descendants of the shipping line move fast to clear the site and silence the truth, Claire and Gabe face escalating threats, unrecorded maritime liens, and a web of coastal corruption. To bring justice to the seafarers and protect their own future, they'll have to prove that the truth hidden beneath the waves can survive any storm.
