The Old Cape Blood Ruby

by Barbara Eppich Struna

Overview

In 1898, the Portland Gale tore across Provincetown on Cape Cod's coast. Walter Ellis, a descendant of legendary Maria Hallett, loses his ship and fishing livelihood. Forced to leave his family behind, he seeks gold in Alaska but never returns. Present day Nancy Caldwell travels to Alaska to visit family. She discovers an old letter destined for Provincetown but never sent.

Back home on Cape Cod, a 1780s house, a hidden "pigeon's blood" ruby ring, and a past nemesis complicate Nancy's search for what happened to the missing fisherman. Using dueling timelines between centuries, the historical fiction, The Old Cape Blood Ruby, follows Nancy as she untangles the lost message's clues, in a quest filled with love, heartbreak, and treasure.
