When shes not selling seashells by the North Carolina seashore from her shell shop, Maureen Nash is a crime-solving sleuth with a ghost pirate for a supernatural sidekick . . . Maureen is still getting used to life on Ocracoke Island, learning how to play the shell game of her businessand ghost whispering with the spirit of Emrys Lloyd, the eighteenth-century Welsh pirate who haunts her shop, The Moon Shell. The spectral buccaneer has unburied a treasure hidden in the shops attic that turns out to be antique shell art stolen from Maureens late husbands family years ago. Victor Shelly Sullivan and his wife Lenrose visit the shop and specifically inquire about these rare items. Not only is it suspicious that this shell collector should arrive around the time Maureen found the art, but Emrys insists that Sullivans wife is an imposter because Lenrose is dead. A womans corpse the police have been unable to identify was discovered by the Fig Ladies, a group who formed an online fig appreciation society. Theyre meeting on Ocracoke for the first time in person and count Lenrose among their number, so the woman cant possibly be dead. But Lenroses behavior doesnt quite match the person the Fig Ladies interacted with online. Now, Maureen and Emryswith assistance from the Fig Ladiesmust prove the real Lenrose is dead and unmask her mysterious pretender before a desperate murderer strikes again . . .
