註釋In the year of 1857, people in the coastal town of Valda Bay face ruin due in part to the greed of Mr. Nash, the wealthiest man in town. When Nash is brutally murdered no one mourns his passing, but now, local magistrate Chief Johnson is out to discover what really happened. Everyone in town is a suspect, but the Chief is in for more than he bargained. Secrets abound, everywhere apparently, as townsfolk scurry to hide the sins of their pasts in light of the investigation. The town lighthouse keeper, Erik Johansson, seems to be one of the few members of the community hiding nothing?but even that is a lie. Rumors have followed his family for years: rumors of a great, hidden fortune worth killing for. So as Chief?s investigation goes from murder and arson, to debauchery and deceit, someone in Valda Bay seeks a treasure. A killer walks the streets. Townspeople turn on each other. Chief Johnson wonders, is Nash?s murder somehow connected to the Johansson family? If so, who stood to gain? How much would they gain, and how far would they be willing to go to get it?
