Plunder

Praise for Plunder... "Engaging, character-driven. -Publishers Weekly Faye Longchamp and her husband Joe Wolf Mantooth are researching archaeological sites near the mouth of the Mississippi soon to be flooded by oil by the Deepwater Horizon disaster. When her babysitter is injured, leaving Faye to work with a toddler underfoot, she hires Amande, a bright and curious teen who lives nearby. But when Amande's grandmother and no-account uncle are murdered, her two known relatives battle over her small inheritance: a raggedy houseboat, a few shares of stock, and a hurricane-battered island that's not even inhabitable. Pirate-era silver coins are found and lost. A murderer is on the loose, and, as the oil slick looms, Faye can see that Louisiana is still being plundered.... Mary Anna Evans has degrees in physics and engineering, but her heart is in the past. Plunder is seventh in her award-winning series. www.maryannaevans.com
