Some stories are buried for a reason. Some refuse to stay buried.
Six months after the secrets of her grandmother's house pulled her into Harrow's Landing for good, forensic genealogist Mari Fenn gets a call she never expected: a man is dead at the base of the lighthouse, and he's been legally dead since 1993.
The name in his pocket belongs to Mari. The fingerprints belong to a fisherman everyone in town buried and mourned thirty years ago. As Mari traces a paper trail of stolen money, false identities, and a brother who never stopped waiting for an apology that never came, she uncovers a truth far more devastating than theft: a man who came home not to take something back, but to give everything away.
Sheriff Cole Navarro is investigating a homicide with no legal victim. Mari is investigating a death that may have been a mercy refused. And somewhere in the middle of it all, a postcard in her late grandmother's handwriting - written in a language Mari never knew Ruth spoke - opens a question about the woman who raised her that may never fully close.
In Harrow's Landing, the past doesn't stay buried. It waits for someone patient enough to keep looking.
Perfect for fans of Louise Penny, Tana French, and William Kent Krueger.
What the Lighthouse Knows is Book Two of the Harrow's Landing Mysteries series.
