Mary has uncovered an astonishing find! While she is helping out at a furniture drive, she finds a false bottom in a desk drawer. Inside, she discovers a mysterious manuscript that isn’t quite what it seems; it’s a confession for burning down the Ivy Bay clock tower long ago! But Mary knows that someone was convicted for that same fire! Was this person wrongly accused for the crime? With the clock tower becoming a suspiciously important landmark in the upcoming mayoral race, it’s up to Mary to discover the truth behind the manuscript and uncover a story that someone is trying to hide. Will she be successful in her investigation, or are there too many people with too much to lose who don’t want her to be successful?

Tourists and locals from Ivy Bay flood the beaches when a few old coins wash up on shore. Everyone wants to be the one to find Lady Beth’s treasure, which was lost in a ship wreck not far from Cape Cod. When Mary finds an old, diamond necklace belonging to Eleanor Blakely’s recently-deceased husband—the man responsible for finding Lady Beth’s shipwreck—she is excited to donate it to the historical society. However, when the necklace is stolen, the townspeople are quick to point the finger at Eleanor and accuse her late-husband of selfishly keeping the treasure for himself. Can Mary uncover the story behind Lady Beth, restore Eleanor’s status in Ivy Bay, and find the real thief?
