    About this ebook

    Although an icy January wind knifes through the streets of Southwest Harbor, Maine, Ann Kinnear is snug in the warmth of her favorite Mount Desert Island bar. But when an overheard conversation draws her to the town docks, Ann finds trouble. Will she have the strength to save a young woman from a threatening presence that only Ann can perceive?

     

    I'll never pause again, never stand still,

    Till either death hath closed these eyes of mine

    Or fortune given me measure of revenge.

    William Shakespeare, King Henry VI, Part 3

      Or fortune given me measure of revenge.

      WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, KING HENRY VI, PART 3

      CLOSE THESE EYES

      Ann Kinnear stepped out of the restaurant into the lacerating cold of the Maine night. The two women who had occupied the table next to her had turned right and headed down the street, chatting and laughing. The man was a few steps behind, silent, hands in pockets, head down.

      Ann sat at a table by the window, the cold black night serving as a pleasing counterpoint to the snug warmth of the restaurant and the localized chill of her Dark and Stormy. An Acadia guidebook lay open on the table in front of her. She was disappointed to read that the Park Loop Road leading to Otter Cliff and Cadillac Mountain was closed for the season. The Eagle Lake Carriage Road offered an alternative, although one that, according to the Park’s Facebook page, required ice cleats in spots.

      She had come to Mount Desert Island for a joint interview with her sometimes-mentor, sometimes-rival, Garrick Masser. She had suggested they dine together tonight.
