When the Asia, a two-masted schooner, sinks in a storm along the
harsh winter shores of Cape Cod in 1882, the crew, the captain, and
the captain's young daughter are cast into the midnight sea. Swept
ashore, the Asia's captain survives-only to meet a mysterious end
before he can be rescued. Meanwhile, his child makes landfall and
dies not far away. With dawn's arrival, all that remains are the
jagged hulk of the Asia and the whispers of a secret.
So begins a race to find a history-altering treasure-a contest
that pits Daniel Cole, keeper of the lifesaving station, and his
fellow Peaked Hill Bars lifesavers against a philosophical killer.
This mooncusser, an author of shipwrecks, walks a stoic horse along
the ridgeline of the Cape's towering beach cliffs, bending fate to
his aims.
Hope and despair, love and loss, sacrifice and sin, riddle and
answer all blur and intertwine in a tale that calls into question
the validity of humanity's moral compass and the very nature of
progress and civilization.
