For the past two weeks, boat delivery captain, Em Ridge, has been ferrying a well-known TV conspiracy theorist around the waters of the Bermuda Triangle. She is tired of his tales of reptilian governments, middle-earth civilizations, and of course, all his theories about the Bermuda Triangle. Em just wants to finish up this assignment, get paid, and head back home to Maine. But a chance sighting fi nds them aboard a "ghost" sailboat. The salon is set neatly for supper, wine in the glasses, pots on the stove, bread on the table and not a soul aboard. Worse, she knows this boat. When a black cat slinks noiselessly around her feet, Em's alarm hikes up to horror. Has someone purposely set this boat out here? Is it a warning? To her? Finding this boat plunges Em into a decades old mystery that threatens not only her, but her entire family. The Bitter End is the second book in the highly acclaimed Em Ridge Mystery Series which began with Night Watch. The adventure continues for widowed boat captain, Em Ridge.
