The Goddess of Shipwrecked Sailors

The Goddess of Shipwrecked Sailorsaf Skye Alexander
Bag om The Goddess of Shipwrecked Sailors

December 1925: Salem, Massachusetts When Matthew Gardner, the heir to a shipping fortune, hires New York jazz singer Lizzie Crane and her band to perform during the Christmas holidays, she has high hopes that this prestigious event will foster their career and bring them riches and recognition. She's also eager to reconnect with a handsome man from one of Boston's most esteemed families, whom she met at an earlier visit to Massachusetts. But the evening the musicians arrive in historic Salem to begin their engagement, police discover the body of a man near a tavern owned by Lizzie's cousin--a cousin she even didn't know she had until Christmas Eve. In the dead man's pocket is a cryptic letter addressed to Gardner. To compound her dismay, she also learns that her host plans to marry his daughter to the man Lizzie wants for herself. Soon Lizzie's caught in the middle of a high-stakes feud between her cousin and her employer over a mysterious lady. When she digs deeper into their conflict, she discovers its roots are deep and bitter: her cousin's father crewed on one of Gardner's grandfather's ships that sunk during a storm in 1868. As she struggles to piece together the puzzle and find the lady at its center, Lizzie becomes a pawn in each man's deadly game for money and revenge.
