In 1898, the Portland Gale tore across Provincetown on Cape Cod’s coast. Walter Ellis, a descendant of legendary Maria Hallett, loses his ship and fishing livelihood. Forced to leave his family behind, he seeks gold in Alaska but never returns.
Present-day Nancy Caldwell travels to Alaska to visit family. She discovers an old letter destined for Provincetown but never sent. Back home on Cape Cod, a 1780s house, a hidden "pigeon’s blood" ruby ring, and a past nemesis complicate Nancy’s search for what happened to the missing fisherman.
Using dueling timelines between centuries, the historical suspense novel, "The Old Cape Blood Ruby," follows Nancy as she untangles the lost message’s clues, in a quest filled with love, heartbreak, and treasure.
Barbara Eppich Struna, international best-selling author and storyteller at heart, bases her tales on the history, myth, legends of Cape Cod and her own personal experiences. She created a contemporary character, amateur sleuth, Nancy Caldwell, who is the vehicle that moves her novels between time periods in alternating chapters. Her suspenseful historical novels, part of her Old Cape series, have won numerous literary awards and accumulated thousands of reviews.
Barbara is President of Cape Cod Writers Center; a member of International Thriller Writers, Member of Sisters in Crime, National, New England, Los Angeles, and Member in Letters - National League of American Pen Women. She also writes a blog about the unique facts and myths of Cape Cod.
