Settled by William Claiborne and fought for by the Calverts, Kent Island is a land of charming beauty and unfailing hospitality. Local author Brent Lewis regales his readers with tales of industrious watermen, floating theatres, legendary pirates, bootleggers and ghostly haunts. Meet Islanders such as the feisty Margaret Brent, who petitioned for voting rights in 1648, and tenacious Senator James Kirwan, who saved the island from becoming a weapons testing ground. With a warm style, Lewis pays homage to a way of life that is fast slipping beneath the waters of the Chesapeake Bay.

Kent Island Mysteries - Captain Boyle's Treasure is not just about majestic Kent Island, Maryland and its rich heritage...nor just the War of 1812...nor just a present-day search of buried treasure from the famous Privateer and Captain of the original "Pride of Baltimore," Thomas Boyle. It's about all of them. Did Privateer Boyle, as one of the "Nest of Pirates" from Baltimore, make a clandestine stop on historic Kent Island at the War's end? Did he bury something of real importance? Who exactly is searching for this possible treasure and why? On the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, history and fiction can come alive in 2012 if the right characters of Kent Island are involved. They are indeed. A portion of each book will be donated to The Kent Island Heritage Society. Mark Lidinsky is a native Marylander who grew up in Baltimore and now resides full-time on Kent Island in the Chesapeake Bay. A former English and Irish Literature Professor, Mark combines his love of history (he is a member of the Kent Island Heritage Society and Edgar Allan Poe Society) with his literary background, to weave historical fiction. Kent Island Mysteries - Captain Boyle's Treasure is the first in a series of novels based on Kent Island's rich heritage and current mystical charm. Next in the series: The historical Chesapeake Bay "Oyster Wars" come alive in: Kent Island Mysteries- The Headless Oysterman.

Cork O’Connor battles vicious villains, both mythical and modern, to rescue a young girl in this riveting mystery from New York Times bestselling, Edgar Award–winning author William Kent Krueger. When the body of a teenage Ojibwe girl washes up on the shore of an island in Lake Superior, the residents of the nearby Bad Bluff reservation whisper that it was the work of a deadly mythical beast, the Windigo, or a vengeful spirit called Michi Peshu. Such stories have been told by the Ojibwe people for generations, but they don’t explain how the girl and her friend, Mariah Arceneaux, disappeared a year ago. At the request of the Arceneaux family, private investigator Cork O’Connor takes on the case. But on the Bad Bluff reservation, nobody’s talking. Still, Cork puts enough information together to find a possible trail. He learns that the old port city of Duluth is a modern-day center for sex trafficking of vulnerable women, many of whom are young Native Americans. As the investigation deepens, so does the danger. Yet Cork holds tight to his higher purpose—his vow to find Mariah, an innocent fifteen-year-old girl whose family is desperate to get her back. With only the barest hope of saving her from men whose darkness rivals that of the legendary Windigo, Cork prepares for an epic battle that will determine whether it will be fear, or love, that truly conquers all.

With his family caught in the crosshairs of a group of brutal killers, detective Cork O’Connor must solve the murder of a young girl in the latest installment of William Kent Krueger’s unforgettable New York Times bestselling series. During a houseboat vacation on the remote Lake of the Woods, a violent gale sweeps through unexpectedly, stranding Cork and his daughter, Jenny, on a devastated island where the wind has ushered in a force far darker and more deadly than any storm. Amid the wreckage, Cork and Jenny discover the body of a teenage girl. She wasn’t killed by the storm, however; she’d been bound and tortured before she died. Nearby, underneath a tangle of branches, they also find a baby boy, hungry and dehydrated, but still very much alive. Powerful forces intent on securing the child pursue them to the isolated Northwest Angle, where it’s impossible to tell who among the residents is in league with the devil, but Cork understands that to save his family he must solve the puzzle of this mysterious child whom death follows like a shadow. “Part adventure, part mystery, and all knockout thriller” (Booklist), Northwest Angle is a dynamic addition to William Kent Krueger’s critically acclaimed, award-winning series.
