About The Mourning Light

It’s 1920. Marlena Von Jaeger, an inexperienced federal agent, investigates the death of a German lighthouse keeper on a remote and wintry Lake Superior island populated with Scandinavians still seething with World War I’s anti-German fervor. Marlena pursues a long-ago shipwreck and a missing child, convinced both are connected to the murder. Suddenly, Marlena’s job is in jeopardy unless she immediately solves the case. Can she do it?
