Ex-Marine Acton Sanderson, the local sheriff, lives in one of the
converted missile towers on Boatswain Island, home to America's
first missile site. Older and newer entangled families with secrets
produce their own virtual Tower of Babel. Acton has to let Suelima
Pardee know that her older sister, Charlotte, who runs the Silver
Mullet Pier and Motel founded by their father, has had a breakdown.
By the time she interrupts completing her doctorate in literature
at the University of Chicago to come to her aid, Charlotte is dead,
and the island's "bad boy," Wes Thomas, is missing. Suelima seems
destined to sort out matters and solve the mystery [mysteries?]. A
secondary motive for her return is to determine, prior to answering
the marriage proposal of philosophy professor "Jamie" Winthrop,
whether her feelings for Acton are merely the dregs of a childhood
crush. After what she uncovers, can Suelima be satisfied that she
has done her best by the island she loves and not left it a place
of "whited sepulchers"?
