At an estate auction, caterer-turned-minister's-wife Faith Sibley Fairchild buys a beautiful handmade quilt that promises to liven up her deathly dull vacation on Maine's Sanpere Island. Lovingly constructed by wealthy, deceased and detested Matilda Prescott, Faith's purchase turns out to be a bargain indeed - especially when it turns out to be a map to the old woman's hidden treasure. But instead of pointing Faith toward the fabled Prescott gold, Matilda's clues lead her to a kelp-covered corpse floating in a nearby tidal pool. Now the endangered amateur sleuth is ensnared in the twisted, lethal threads of familial greed and cold-blooded murder.
