About this book:

After years away, Navy veteran and cryptologist Mara Keene returns to her decaying hometown of Winthrop Cove to settle her late father’s estate. Expecting nothing more than a week of sorting through boxes, she instead discovers a hidden transmitter within the town’s automated lighthouse and a battered Army trunk filled with complex ciphers. When she realizes the lighthouse is being used to broadcast a clandestine code, Mara is pulled into a dangerous game of "low-grade" signals and high-stakes secrets that her father died trying to expose.

Teaming up with Jonah, the local harbormaster, and Dr. Evelyn Price, a sharp-witted historian, Mara deconstructs a sophisticated human trafficking network operating under the guise of local industry. As she navigates a landscape of double-crosses involving the town’s sheriff and its most beloved benefactor, Thomas Hale, the mission becomes a race against time. To save the innocent and avenge her father, Mara must use every skill in her arsenal to crack the "Lighthouse Code" and turn the tide against a powerful criminal empire.

*The Lighthouse Code* is a gripping coastal thriller that explores the heavy weight of legacy and the thin line between the shadows of the past and the light of the truth. Written with atmospheric precision, it follows a woman forced to rediscover her own voice as she listens to the iron whispers of a town that has forgotten how to look beneath the surface.
