Shadows on the Sea Paperback - 2005
by Joan Hiatt Harlow
Based upon startling historical events that took place in the harbors of Maine during World War II, the author of "Joshua's Song" delivers a fast-paced mystery that will keep readers guessing.
Summary
1942.
The U.S. is at war with Germany. Fourteen-year-old Jill Winter's mother is traveling to Newfoundland and must pass through the treacherous North Atlantic, where German submarines -- U-boats -- stalk like wolves. Jill's father, a famous pop singer, is on tour, so Jill is sent to Winter Haven, Maine, to stay with Nana.
Quarry, a local boy, says that "gossip ain't never been so good," and Jill soon discovers he's right -- Winter Haven is full of secrets and rumors. It seems everyone has something to hide -- even Nana! Jill doesn't know whom to trust, and she's worried for her mother's safety. And things get even worse when she finds a wounded carrier pigeon with a coded message attached to its leg.
Jill is determined to get to the bottom of all these mysteries, but when she uncovers the biggest secret of all, she finds herself in grave danger -- and must run for her life!

Don't worry so much! Don't worry so much! Jill Winters leaned her forehead against the train window and peered out through the raindrops at the early summer landscape.
