But when Ellen begins hearing words in Cherokee—words she’s never learned yet somehow understands—the case takes a darker turn. The water speaks of a curse. Of treasure.

When Ellen, Sue, and Tanya are hired to help design a bed and breakfast on a newly reemerged island, they expect local legends and quirky folklore—not bodies. But before construction even begins, a young woman’s corpse surfaces near Antelope Island. Then another is discovered in the mud of Jensen Island, weighted down and hidden. As the women investigate, they uncover a chilling history: a long-vanished bridge, serial deaths from the 1890s, a mysterious journal that has gone missing, and a pattern of suicides exactly thirteen years apart at the nearby Bigelow Hotel.
