A marina, a map, and a shore-town mystery

An inherited marina gives siblings Madison and Lincoln Wainright a foothold in Smuggler’s Cove, a New Jersey shore town shaped by pirate lore and local history. As they settle into summer and the town’s Seafood Festival approaches, a map connected to their late uncle is stolen from the boathouse. Its possible link to Captain Kidd’s lost treasure turns familiar stories into questions of motive and trust. The mystery also draws on the siblings’ changed circumstances: they arrived after their father’s arrest for fraud and have found a sense of belonging among the close-knit locals. The book brings family ties, a community’s identity, and the uncertain boundary between legend and fact into an adventure set around the marina.

Book overview

Running their inherited marina in a quirky, picturesque New Jersey shore town, siblings Madison and Lincoln Wainright discover what could be a map to Captain Kidd's lost treasure in this fresh, adventure-filled Twin Lights novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Fern Michaels.



An unexpected inheritance from their late uncle brought Madison (Taylor) Wainwright and her brother Lincoln to Smuggler's Cove. But it's the quirky, close-knit locals who've convinced them to stay for the summer. The little town may be worlds away from the privileged existence the siblings knew before their father was arrested for fraud, but here, they've found a sense of belonging.



After renovating the dilapidated boat house that once served as a local marina for crabbers and clammers, Madison and Lincoln are settling in for a true Jersey Shore summer, complete with the town's famous Seafood Festival. Visitors love learning about the area's history--the tales of pirates and privateers, cryptic maps and buried treasure. Those stories seem like harmless fantasy until a seemingly worthless map is stolen from their boathouse.



Could their uncle's rudimentary map show the true location of Captain Kidd's treasure? Or was there another, more sinister motive behind the theft? As Madison and Lincoln dig deeper, they learn that the legends underpinning Smuggler's Cove's history may also have the power to tear it apart, unless they can quickly separate fiction from fact, and guilty from innocent...
