The Ghost Shrimp

Beautiful Lucia Winstone escapes distressing telephone calls and her mother’s twilight world when she runs away to Boris Point, an imaginary, semi-wild island of the coast of Georgia. There, in a stormy garden, she encounters the Ghost of the island, hints of unexpected treasure, and a devastatingly attractive Pete Dulaney, who calls himself a beach bum. Amid strange occurrences, attempts to persuade her to go home, and threats of violence to her person, she discovers an important family secret and explores the dimensions of deep and sensual love.
