The Lightkeeper's Legacy — Kathleen Ernst

An island's history holds clues to a modern murder

Solitude at last! Museum curator Chloe Ellefson jumps at the chance to spend time on Wisconsin's Rock Island, a state park with no electricity or roads. Hired as a consultant for a project to restore the island's lighthouse, her research turns up fascinating tough-as-nails women from the past. Chloe's tranquility is spoiled when a dead woman washes ashore. Is it just another accidental drowning? Or has tension over tighter fishing regulations reached a dangerous boiling point?

When a second body is found, Chloe finds herself trapped on remote Rock Island with a killer.
