The old lighthouse keeper found the body at dawn's first light. Blood pooled on the spiral stairs where no one should walk. A single white feather lay beside the dead man's cold hand. Inspector Mara Voss arrived before the fog could lift completely. She photographed everything before the tide could wash evidence away. The victim was a reclusive historian who studied maritime disasters. Three guests had stayed at the inn that stormy night. Each claimed they slept through the entire terrible event. The lighthouse keeper swore he heard nothing at all. Mara noticed mud on the floor near the door.
