Book Two of the Pyke Island Mystery Series
Some bones won’t stay buried.
While documenting a remote granite dome on Maine’s Pyke Island, geology student Del Corriveau uncovers a hidden cave—and a human skeleton. The remains belong to Chief George, a divisive local figure who vanished five years ago. His discovery unearths old grudges, buried truths, and a mystery someone still wants silenced.
As Del, PI Ty Holden, and journalist Marco Avila dig deeper, they navigate petroglyphs, land disputes, and the complicated fault lines of a small community still scarred by loss.
A layered, atmospheric mystery filled with family legacy, ancient clues, and long-buried secrets, Granite and Bones is a gripping follow-up in the Pyke Island Mystery Series—perfect for readers who love small-town suspense, island settings, and character-driven thrillers with environmental themes.
