Summer guests are eager to sink their teeth into tantalizing desserts at The Chocolate Moose, Jacobia &“Jake&” Tiptree and Ellie White&’s bakeshop in the island village of Eastport, Maine. But attracting the wrong kind of attention can be deadly . . . With the August heat strong enough to melt solid chocolate into syrup, Jake and Ellie crave a break from the bakery ovens, despite tourist season promising a sweet payday. But they never envisioned spending the last weeks of summer drifting around Passamaquoddy Bay searching for pirate&’s treasure—and a dead body. Sally Coates believes her husband was murdered off the coast, and begs Ellie, a trusted childhood friend, to locate his remains. It&’s unusual that a skilled fisherman would vanish along with the gold doubloon he inherited from his grandfather. And Sally isn&’t the only one coveting the valuable heirloom for her own. As Jake and Ellie&’s island-hop for answers, they find themselves caught between hungry sharks and hungrier suspects. Can the duo tempt fate and dodge danger before there&’s blood in the water—or are they destined to fall into the jaws of a killer&’s trap?
