Running from a proposal of marriage from Sheriff Paul
Davidson, Anna Pigeon takes a post as a temporary
supervisory ranger on remote Garden Key in Dry Tortugas
National Park, a small grouping of tiny islands in a
natural harbor seventy miles off Key West. This island
paradise has secrets it would keep; not just in the
present, but in shadows from its gritty past, when it
served as a prison for the Lincoln conspirators during and
after the Civil War.
Here, on this last lick of the United States, in a giant
crumbling fortress, Anna has little company except for the
occasional sunburned tourist or unruly shrimper. When her
sister, Molly, sends her a packet of letters from a great-
great-aunt who lived at the fort with her husband, a career
soldier, Anna's fantasy life is filled with visions of this
long-ago time.
When a mysterious boat explosion-and the discovery of
unidentifiable body parts-keeps her anchored to the
present, Anna finds crimes of past and present closing in
on her. A tangled web that was woven before she arrived
begins to threaten her sanity and her life. Cut off from
the mainland by miles of water, poor phone service, and
sketchy radio contact, and aided by one law-enforcement
ranger, Anna must find answers or weather a storm to rival
the hurricanes for which the islands are famous.
