ON A STARLESS NIGHT in 1942, New Hampshire fisherman Ben Crouse takes his boat, Dorothy Kay, out of Rye Harbor in the midst of a storm to patrol against the threat of German U-boats. What-and whom-he encounters that night will change his life forever. More than half a century later, his niece, Courtney, receives a series of threatening phone calls. As she struggles to run her late uncle's restaurant, navigate a new romance, and find answers to her family's secret past, she turns to her friends Jack and Max, who must solve the mystery of Ben's legacy and save her from the delusional children of the Third Reich.
