During a long winter and short, chilly spring, a series of disturbing incidents rock the small resort island of Nantucket. A Land Bank executive dies in a suspicious hunting accident, a prominent local family's historic summer burns down in an arson fire, and a teenage girl lies comatose in the hospital from an overdose.When spring turns to summer and the tourists flood the island, the mysterious cycle of violence spins faster.

Could all of these events be part of the same sinister conspiracy?

It's Christmas Eve on Nantucket and prominent businessman Jackson Blum is about to live out his own version of A Christmas Carol. "No visions, no ghosts, just the past, represented by the exhumed skeleton of his old partner Ted Coddington with a bullet from Blum's Ruger pistol in its skull; the present, in the form of a horribly mistreated employee who reveals Blum as the Scrooge he is; and the future, invoked by a family crisis that threatens to ruin the rest of his life. Past, Present, and Future, all colliding on the same dark night of the soul."Nantucke Police Chief Henry Kennis is investigating the so-cold Coddington case with Blum as the main suspect while he roots out a plot to rig the traditional five-thousand-dollar Red Tickets raffle and struggles to close down an local opioid dealer who's selling to high school kids from a house on Tuckernuck Island -- a bleak vista of wild moors, dirt roads and unpained homes a century old. "It's a time machine," says Kennis,. With a whaling…

When people begin disappearing from the island, Nantucket Police Chief Henry Kennis is baffled. The victims are not random -- they're all Nantucket High School alumni. And the only clues left behind are pennies dropped at the sites of the kidnappings. There's an old island tradition of tossing a penny from the ferry as you depart to ensure your eventual return..... Has someone come back to the island with a sinister grudge to settle?Sippy Bascomb and Todd Fraker were childhood best friends, bonded as fellow victims of bullying at the hands of their classmates. The two men hadn't seen each other in years, but when Sippy comes across Todd's blog airing grievances from the past, the two reconnect and hatch a plan to return to the island. Both seek revenge, but Todd wants their tormentors to face a tribunal and appoints himself judge, jury, and executioner.
When Henry's fiancee joins the missing, he enlists the aid of former intelligence agent Mitch Stone, a native who has returned to Nantucket hoping… Read More
