About This Book

A woman discovers a strangely knotted length of cord that triggers an investigation linking a prosperous ship-owner to a dangerous, exotic method of revenge. A newly settled country practitioner pieces together clues from voyages, crew members, and a sequence of odd incidents — locked rooms, vanished people, a sinking ship, hidden vaults, and a peculiar moth — while tensions rise between local suspicions and an inscrutable enemy. The plot moves from quiet domestic scenes into urgent pursuit and revelation, as personal histories, maritime secrets, and coded warnings converge toward the exposure of who engineered the attacks and why.
