After a sailing ship is found on the rocks of Washington’s stormy Cape Flattery with a dead body, Nathan MacAllister, the son of a lighthouse keeper, refuses to believe the authorities fable of no survivors. Mysterious footprints, burglary at a trading post, and children stories of a “hairy-man” induces Nathan MacAllister’s belief of a survivor hiding in the abandoned sea caves. With his new friend, Lighthouse George, a fisherman of the famous Makah whaling tribe. Nathan searches the land for the smallest clues that might lead to the survivor of the shipwreck. In his search, Nathan discovers a Ghost Canoe with a skeleton inside that could reveal the truth of a mystery with ancient treasure, betrayal, and murder.

This book is great, but to me the beginning was a bit confusing because the book doesn’t tie in the Ghost Canoe or the other mysterious things untill later. Still this book has a lot of suspense and will keep you guessing Nathan’s fate.
