Publisher's Summary

In the early years of the 20th century, restorative waters are a popular health draw for many.

Healing Sands Sanitarium, northwest of Hoquiam, Washington, is located on the sandy edge of the Pacific Ocean and is famous for its restorative rest cure, fermented diets, and Dr. Hornsby's electrotherapeutics. No one has ever died at Healing Sands - until now.

When Benjamin Bradshaw, a professor at the University of Washington and a specialist in electricity, is summoned to investigate, he immediately knows that this death was no accident. The only clue to foul play is an obvious one to him but will seem as insubstantial as smoke to anyone other than an electrical engineer. Suspects are limited to a handful whose lives - and lies - must be exhumed and examined.

A sinister tale emerges as deep undercurrents turn personal, provoking Bradshaw to make a decision about the woman he loves. And then an everyday object provides the key, alerting Bradshaw that one among them is a walking dead man and that another possesses the capacity for murder.

EXCELLENT HISTORICAL MURDER MYSTERIES!

Again Bernadette Pajer outdo herself. The story line was very interesting and the murderer was revealed at the end. Very well performed by Malcolm Hillgartner. I am glad that professor Bradshaw is finally coming to his senses about his love for Missouri. I hope their romance will be mentioned more in the next book.
