When the Circus Salmagundi sails into Union Bay, Miss Rose Ivy looks forward to a week of nightly shows, entertaining the families who live in a sleepy seaside village.
Instead, the tattooed lady discovers a community divided by bitter rivalries, lies and deceit, which have culminated in a woman left dead on the beach.
But the victim was an ill-tempered spinster, of little importance to anyone, and nobody seems eager to find her murderer. Local fishermen are embroiled in fierce disputes as they struggle to put food on the table, and the town's new constable is in over his head. Rose realizes, if there's going to be any justice for the murdered woman, she'll just have to solve the crime herself.
Peppered with pickled punks, freak shows and ghost stories, The Vengeful Dead examines the aftermath of war on the BC Coast. What terrible secret followed the soldiers when they came home from the Front? And how has the impact of shell shock and desertion rippled out to ruin the lives of those who stayed behind?
