Nearly a century ago, a young sailor vanished from Halifax Harbor.
History decided he was a thief.
Skye Anderson isn't so sure.
While covering a gathering of tall ships on the Halifax waterfront, Skye notices a young sailor standing among the crowds, gazing at the rigging as though he has been waiting years to see it again.
Hours later, she finds his face in an old photograph.
His name is Leo Bell. He was twenty-seven years old when he disappeared in 1929, leaving behind a small sailboat, accusations of stolen money, and a story that hardened into fact because no one was left to challenge it.
But the deeper Skye searches, the less that story makes sense.
Following a trail through forgotten records, old ships, family memories, and the waters surrounding Halifax, Skye begins to uncover the life of a man history got wrong-and a mystery someone once worked very hard to bury.
Because some stories disappear when the people who knew the truth are gone.
And some sailors never really leave.
