Book 5
When a ten thousand year old settlement is uncovered by a storm tide on the Outer Cape, it’s a rare opportunity for archaeologists to explore the ruins of an ancient culture. The Park Service at the National Seashore is hard pressed to keep tourists from trampling the site or removing artifacts, so they have increased their patrols.
Johanna and Scott Kincaid are enjoying a much needed vacation when an another squall hits the Cape. The next day Johanna makes a rare discovery while walking on the beach: human remains of a more recent variety. A pile of bones the Park Ranger swears weren’t there the night before. Suspicion reaches an all time high in the close-knit communities. More than a few old-timers recall the similarities to a serial killer who roamed the dunes of the remote villages over fifty years ago. Tony Costa, the Cape Cod Vampire. While the local police believe it’s the handiwork of a copy-cat murderer, Johanna thinks otherwise.

Review
A band of strong, capable women determined to take down a child sex trafficking ring with the aid of First Nations and other mystical wisdom is a powerful combination in this important story. Lowrie’s sweeping natural imagery gives space for readers to process difficult subject matter. While sex trafficking is an oft-explored topic, a seldom celebrated, fierce female presence lights up this book—an antidote to its brutal truths. The infusion of spirituality and its intersection with the natural world provides an impactful additional layer of meaning. Lowrie’s characters are vibrant and easy for readers to connect to, despite populating an uncommon, strikingly realized setting. Their backgrounds are fully examined and nicely inform the events unfolding in the present. ~ Booklife Prize Critic’s Review
