MARINER'S COMPASS
by Earlene Fowler
Who is Jacob Chandler? Why has he left his house in Morro Bay to a stranger, San Celina folk-art curator/quilter Benni Harper (Dove in the Window, 1998, etc.), with the stipulation that she first live there alone for two weeks? And can Benni, taking leave of her husband, San Celina Police chief Gabe Ortiz, pick up the clues scattered through the house fast enough to solve these riddles and survive her inheritance?
