However, when Henry goes off to investigate a few strange sounds emanating from his garage, Mary finds him lying unconscious and a mysterious, indistinguishable figure running away.

A series of strange events, however, makes her wonder about the extent to which Henry is in over his head.

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 observes a young woman pretending to read a book in Mary’s Mystery Bookshop as though she is waiting for someone, Mary discovers that the young woman—named Katie— suffers from amnesia and doesn’t recall anything that happened prior to that day.

With a recent mugging in town, in addition to a suspicious man following Katie around town, Mary cannot help but think that these events are all related in some way. Can she help Katie resolve her past with the present, or are some memories better left forgotten?

As Mary investigates the matter further, she discoverers the list of possible suspects is longer than she initially realized. Could it be any of the potential culprits, or is it someone that she doesn’t even suspect?
