A bookish antiquary arrives at an isolated Northumberland estate

Highman Middlebrook accepts a commission from Francis Raven to catalog the ancient library at Ravensdene Court. Shortly after his arrival on the quiet Northumberland coast, the local routine is interrupted by the appearance of Salter Quick, a mysterious sailor asking strange questions about old churchyards and local graves.

Twin murders on distant coasts reveal a coordinated plot

Salter Quick is discovered murdered on the shore near Ravensdene Court, his pockets searched. News arrives that his brother Noah Quick has been killed at the exact same time in Plymouth, hundreds of miles away. The simultaneous crimes prove that multiple killers are hunting for a shared secret the brothers possessed.

Clues point toward buried treasure and hidden merchant records

Middlebrook and Marcia Raven join forces to unravel the connection between the slain Quick brothers and historical shipping records. The investigation centers on old logbooks, rare coins, and a hidden manuscript detailing a forgotten merchant vessel's lost cargo off the northern coast.
