Cod Only Knows

A Canadian fishing village is obsessed with the one that got away . . . but is someone getting away with murder?

For the first time in thirty years, all the signs have returned to the waters off The Shores—signs of a presumed-gone and possibly legendary giant cod. Ninety-year-old Abel Mack once almost landed it, but a photograph is the only evidence the big one ever existed.

Now, at all costs, two powerful men with competing interests are after the biggest cod. They are closing in on The Shores—but the fisherman is missing. At the best of times, Abel is there one minute, gone the next. His best friends and family are not sure they would recognize him if they found him.

Is he dead, by foul play or misadventure, or dead of exposure, as Mountie Jane Jamieson suspects? Or is he alive and sure to return, as his wife Gus Mack insists? Does the never-at-home Abel even exist outside Gus's memory or imagination, Hy McAllister wonders…or has he been kidnapped for what he knows about the codfish?

"A natural storyteller, superbly equipped both by her character and experience to fashion stories of the lives of everyday people who make their living from the sea." —Ottawa Review of Books
