Granite and Bones

Praise for Moe Claire and the Pyke Island Mystery Series: "Filled with clues and red herrings, the investigation uncovers secrets and tension that somebody will do anything to keep buried." —Gabriela Stiteler, award-winning writer & co-chair, New England Crime Bake "A perfect 10 in local crime fiction." —Richard Stockford, author of the Detective Thomas Clipper Mysteries "A great mystery series, fast-paced, authentic." —Dotty Small, retired Maine police officer/detective for 37 years Granite and Bones (Revised Edition) Pyke Island Mystery Series Book 2 When geology student Del Corriveau stumbles across a hidden cave on remote Pyke Island, she expects rare rock formations—not a human skeleton. The remains belong to Chief George, a controversial figure who disappeared five years earlier. As investigators reopen the case, long-held grudges, land disputes, and buried secrets come to the surface—along with a chilling possibility: someone on the island wanted him gone…and still wants the truth to stay buried. Teaming up with PI Ty Holden and journalist Marco Avila, Del navigates ancient petroglyphs, environmental fault lines, and a community haunted by loss. Perfect for fans of small-town suspense, atmospheric thrillers, and slow-burn mystery series, Granite and Bones delivers: A strong female lead uncovering dark secrets A gripping whodunit set on a remote Maine island Indigenous and environmental themes are woven into the plot A character-driven mystery rich in setting and emotion The return of key characters from A Fickle Tide Whether you're drawn to coastal thrillers, literary suspense, or indie mystery books with environmental depth, this is a series worth discovering. Some bones won't stay buried.
