Opis

Most towns have their secrets. In the 1930s, Port St. Joe has more than its share. Old Doc Berber, Port St. Joe s only general practitioner, thought he knew all the secrets of the sleepy town in Florida s panhandle. But a grisly murder out at the Cape San Blas Lighthouse drags him into a series of intrigues that even he can t diagnose. Fortunately, the wise old doctor has an even wiser housekeeper, the industrious Jewel Jackson, who has a magic touch in the kitchen and an old Southern saying for every situation and has tabs on everything that s going on in town through the furtive black-folks grapevine. But the old doctor loses his good sense when he meets young Sally Martin, the dead man s widow. In spite of himself, Doc Berber is drawn into a dangerous search for the killer that leads him into a sinister tangle of deceit, corruption, and scandalous secrets. He s forced into an agonizing struggle, not just with the murderer, but with his own conscience as well."
