Synopsis
The Discovery of an old corpse dredges up the past for a small town with a lot to hide...
Professor Simon Shaw wants nothing more than to spend a peaceful Thanksgiving with friends, staying in Pearlie Beach, a small town on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. But even has the turkey roasts, he finds himself embroiled in a fifty-year-old mystery of strange disappearances, suspicious deaths, and treasures lost and found.
The holiday disruption begins with the body of a local man is dredged from the waters of Pearlie Beach. In his hand, several rare Confederate coins; in his decaying ribs, the sharp blade of a knife. Soon Simon, aided by Julia McGloughlin, a mesmerizing police attorney, discovers that secrets in this small town run as deep as the waterways that surround it.
Simon knows that finding another cache of coins is about as likely as getting the guarded residents of Pearlie Beach to talk. But he also knows that if he doesn't continue to investigate, a decades-old murder will remain unsolved--and another may be close at hand...

About the Author
SARAH R. SHABER lives in Raleigh, North Caroline. Her first novel, SIMON SAID, won the 1996 St. Martin's Malice Domestic Award.
From Publishers Weekly
Forensic historian Simon Shaw, who made his debut in Simon Said, gets an unexpected and unwelcome opportunity to exercise his unique skills during a Thanksgiving vacation on Pearlie Beach--a small island off the North Carolina coast. Simon, a college history professor and winner of a Pulitzer Prize, is joined for the holiday by his friend David Morgan, an archeologist; romantic interest Julia McGloughlin, a police attorney; and the Cleggs--Marcus, who is Simon's colleague, his wife and three young daughters. When a dredger dislodges an old WWII diving suit, with an occupant, Simon and his friends are soon involved in a mystery that seems too old and too difficult to solve. Both the coastal waters and the denizens of Pearlie Beach hide their secrets well, and prizing them loose proves difficult and dangerous. Confederate gold, German U-boats, blockade runners, murders old and new all surface to play their part in this appealing cozy, which pleasingly mixes regional history and lore, a bit of romance and a soup on of suspense. (Mar.)
