Book 4 of the Pyke Island Mystery in Downeast Maine series
Three lobstermen. Three drownings. Somebody’s counting.
When three Pyke Island lobstermen drown within weeks of each other, the official verdict is the same each time: tragedies happen when you fish alone. The island grieves, closes ranks, and moves on. That’s what Pyke Island does.
But the pattern is too clean. The silence is too practiced. And when Del Corriveau starts asking questions, the people with money tied up in those waters make sure the answers go nowhere.
Set against the iron-cold waters of Downeast Maine, A Blind Spider is a story of a tight-knit fishing community, a rock ledge that keeps its secrets, and the particular danger of asking the right questions in the wrong place.
