The Sea Witch's Bargain in Gull Harbor
A Cozy Mystery

About this book:

When the bank comes for her grandmother's bakery, Marina Moore has three days, two hundred dollars, and a strange offer from the town's reclusive "sea witch": a pinch of uncanny salt that might buy her ninety days—or cost her soul. Marina doesn't believe in magic, only in rising dough and balanced ledgers, but when Roger Henderson is found dead on the municipal dock after a midnight meeting, the battered ledger becomes a crime scene and Marina the prime suspect.

With a sheriff who'd rather arrest than investigate, a harbor full of neighbors hiding salt-crusted secrets, and a cryptic debt coming due to the woman in the driftwood shanty, Marina must sift through generations of buried grudges and smuggled fortunes. Her only tools are a nose for lies, a kitchen full of witnesses, and a bargain she never agreed to but can't afford to break.

Set against a Maine coast where the fog keeps its own counsel and the tide always reveals what the dark tried to hide, *The Sea Witch's Bargain in Gull Harbor* serves up a salty, atmospheric cozy mystery where the pastries are warm, the stakes are lethal, and the line between justice and the old ways is drawn in flour on a marble counter.
