Kit hasn’t seen her father in years. She’s dismayed to see how far he’s let the farm slip since she and her mother left. The only improvements are a new car and a sleek boat with a dock to match, down in the bay. Dad says it’s for “night fishing.”
Kit wants to believe him, but there’s not a shred of evidence—not one fish scale, not even the smell of fish. There’s something fishy going on, though. Plenty of money. A brand-new lock on a rickety barn door. Dad making secret arrangements in the dark of night.
Then along comes a mysterious stranger, bringing help in one hand and intrigue in the other. Kit needs the one, and she’s not scared of the other. Before the summer ends, she will discover depths of insight and courage she did not know she possessed, and she will win one of her dearest wishes.
This exciting novel by the author of The Olden Days Locket is set in the turbulent twenties, when rum-runners plied their dangerous trade through the moonlit waters off southern British Columbia.
