In this coastal New England town, folks take care of the needyโbut someone is killing without kindness . . .
Ike Hamilton is a part of the Haven Harbor community just like anyone else, though heโs fallen on hard times and has to make do on disability checks and deposit bottles. Most of the locals do what they can to help him out, and needlepointing partners Angie and Sarah are happy to see him at the annual Blessing of the Fleet, honoring all those lost at sea over the centuries.
But when harmless Ike is stabbed, suspicion quickly falls on a troubled teenage boy whoโs new in town. Angieโs convinced that young Leo is innocentโbut if he didnโt do it, who did? Turns out Ike may have appeared simple-minded, but he knew a few secrets that someone might have murdered him to keep quiet. Angie sets out to trace Ikeโs bottle-collecting route to find out what he witnessedโand for this killer, there may be no redemption . . .
