| Summary: |
Sofia Parker needs a summer break as badly as her childdren and husband, and they find a wonderful diversion at a cabin on Lake Champlain. Joined by Sofia's Pinot Painter friends, Julie Butler and Marla Dixon, Sofia is reveling in the two-week vacation-- until apparent tragedy strikes. Julie's kid brother, Ian, shows up at the Butler cabin for a surprise visit, but then goes missing the next morning. With his clothes found on the dock, the group fears he may have gone for a swim alone during the night and then drowned. Concurrently, Sofia is wrestling with the twelfth block of the heirloom quilt bequeathed to her by her beloved grandmother. The entry in the accompanying journal indicates that the square of stained silk was donated by Aria Greco, an aspiring screenwriter who was a passenger on the maiden voyage of the Titanic in 1912. How did the swatch get from the Titanci to Nonna's quilt? Sofia isn't sure, but she knows she must discover the secret behind this last piece of the ancient quilt. At the same time the mystery in the history is playing out, the modern-day whodunit surrounding the ominous disappearance of Ian is pressing the Parker, Butler, and Dixon families into more desperate mearsures. But will the answers they seek be found, much like the Titanic, in the deadly maw of the deep? |
