About this book:

After her father’s sudden death, investigative journalist Claire Mercer returns to her childhood home—a remote lighthouse on the rugged New England coast—to settle his estate. Instead of a quiet inheritance, she discovers a cryptic legacy: a metallic cipher disk, a dog-eared copy of *Moby-Dick*, and a series of coded logs. As Claire uses her reporting skills to peel back the layers of her father’s obsession, she uncovers evidence of a twenty-five-year-old conspiracy involving a sunken trawler, a corrupt sheriff, and a powerful developer determined to seize the lighthouse at any cost.

Caught in a tightening web of small-town secrets and maritime legends, Claire teams up with a local diver to navigate a treacherous landscape of betrayal. From hidden sea caves to high-stakes chases through North Atlantic squalls, she must decode a history of murder and corporate greed before those who silenced her father can silence her too. *The Lighthouse Cipher* is a gripping coastal thriller that explores the heavy weight of the past and the enduring power of a daughter’s quest for the truth.
