An Island Adventure

On an island seven miles off the coast of Maine, Pastor Jake Styles, peacemaker and self-appointed island sleuth, was knee deep in a murder mystery. His skiff was missing and implicated in the transport of the body of a woman recently murdered. Adding to his complications, his fingerprints were on a knife thought to be the murder weapon. Pulling Pastor Jake deeper into trouble was his discovery of a second body. Time was running out to prove his innocence.The discovery of the secret life of a popular church elder was stirring up additional tension on the island. The faith of the inhabitants, including Pastor Jakes, was being tested. Attempting to keep a lid on the outbursts of anger and periodic violence, while encouraging reconciliation, was proving difficult.
