The Last Chart of St. Cuthbert
In the aftermath of a shipwreck off the Cornish coast in the late eighteenth century, a surveyor’s daughter finds a damaged chart said to lead to a long-lost refuge for smuggled cargo and hidden papers. When men who know the chart’s value begin to close in, she is forced into a dangerous search along the shoreline, where every cove seems to keep its own version of the truth.
