In this coastal New England town, folks take care of the needyβbut someone is killing without kindness . . .
Ike Hamilton is a part of the Haven Harbor community just like anyone else, though heβs 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 whoβs new in town. Angieβs convinced that young Leo is innocentβbut if he didnβt 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 Ikeβs bottle-collecting route to find out what he witnessedβand for this killer, there may be no redemption . . .
