      About the Author

      Men's evil manners live in brass; their virtues we write in water.

      WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, HENRY VIII

      WRITE IN WATER

      Ann’s phone buzzed and she was surprised to see the name of her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-competitor Garrick Masser pop up on the caller ID.

      Hi, Garrick, she answered.

      There’s a case here in Maine that might be of interest to you, Garrick began without preamble. Established clients. They engaged me a few years ago after their daughter died in a car accident in Ellsworth. Allison Niedermeier and Karl Bork. Perhaps you’ve heard of them?

      Allison Niedermeier the artist? Sure, I studied her in college. Didn’t she die recently?

      She had been quite ill—cancer of the throat—and disappeared a week ago. She left a suicide note that said she planned to take sleeping pills and then drown herself, which wouldn’t be hard to do with a tracheostomy. The boat washed up on the mainland the next day, although I’m surprised it didn’t break apart on the rocks. Her husband wishes to speak with her.

      So, are you taking the engagement?

      No, I’m afraid it would be problematic. But perhaps you would be interested.

      Are they on Mount Desert Island?

      Actually, they live on a small island off MDI. You’ll need to go to the island for the engagement. It’s very charming, I’m sure.

      You’ve never been there? asked Ann.

      "No, I always worked with them at the location of their
