About this eBook

The silence of Old Harbor Friends School is shattered by the death of lascivious, comptroller, Milt Wickie, discovered in his office, a scrimshaw knife protruding from his chest, a knife belonging to beloved teacher, Bess Dore. Bess jumps headlong into the murder investigation along with old flame, police detective, Roger Demaris. Sparks fly when the former lovers are joined by Harry Winthrop, an amateur sleuth, prolific mystery writer, and the son of the school’s wealthiest patron. 

Will Bess give her heart to the gruff police officer, who still adores her, or to the charming Harry who is clearly smitten? Will the killer strike again? Will the silence of the 200-year old Quaker school be restored? Join Bess, Roger and their Old Harbor friends and neighbors in this first book of the beloved Roger and Bess Mysteries.
