Following the death of her mother, university history professor Farran Mackenzie begins searching for her parents' past in the Lost Villages of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Her arrival surprises the old-timers, and stirs up memories amongst the former villagers, many of whom were already rattled by the recent reappearance of Farran's father--from beneath the waters of the St. Lawrence where his body had unknowingly lain since the flooding, forty years before. Then, when a friend of her parent dies in a suspicious accident soon after her arrival, Farran is forced to put her research skills to new use, before her father's murderer finds her.

About the Author:

Born in Simcoe, Ontario, Maggie Wheeler moved with her family several times before settling in Long Sault. Much of her childhood was spent there in the former Hydro Site No. 2, one of two new towns created to accommodate villages relocated by the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project.
With her roots now deep in eastern Ontario she still makes her home on the river at Ingleside Seaway Town Site No. 1 in a house that once stood at the Lost Village of Dickinson s Landing. Steeped in the Lost Villages, Maggie continues her journey to explore the emotional and cultural cost of the St. Lawrence Seaway. That is, when she is not melding the mystery genre with her passion for Canadian history.
