Alice Carta went to Canada to leave her painful memories of London behind for good. An archaeologist by trade, she chose a job in a library in a tiny, remote town in Nova Scotia. A peaceful, sleepy village with a view of the bay, in which she could process difficult emotions without anyone bothering her. She adopted a companion, a German Shepherd named Boldy, and settled in for a reclusive chapter in her life, until he found the body.
Against everything in her, Alice gets swept into a baffling whirlwind of intrigue, arson, deception and murder, and finds herself trying to unravel a case of stolen artifacts, hidden identities and a decades-old curse.
