Mystery
Time is not on Faye Longchamp's side. She and her husband
Joe are working near the mouth of the Mississippi,
researching archaeological sites soon to be swamped by oil.
The Deepwater Horizon disaster has morphed her
run-of-the-mill contract job into a task that might swamp
her fledgling company. It isn't helping that an injured
babysitter has left Faye to work with a toddler
underfoot. An adolescent girl is drawn to Faye,
perhaps because she idolizes the confident archaeologist.
Young Amande is bright and curious, and a poverty-stricken
life on a houseboat with an eccentric grandmother doesn't
look like a good to get the education Amande deserves. When
the girl's grandmother and her no-account uncle are
murdered, her prospects worsen. With only two known
relatives--neither of them much more respectable than the
dead uncle--Amande seems destined for neglect or
worse. Soon, Faye and Joe find themselves among people
fighting hard for Amande's pathetic inheritance: a raggedy
houseboat, a few shares of stock, and a hurricane-battered
island that's not even inhabitable. Pirate-era silver coins
are found and disappear. Shadowing it all is the fact that
there's a murderer on the loose. But why should Faye be
surprised by such shady events, here in these watery lands
settled by the greatest pirates of them all? And the oil
slick looms, because this country is still being plundered,
after all these years...
