Ghost Canoe, Oct. 18

You can't beat Will Hobbs for adventure and mystery. We Pig Skulls have read his Wild Man Island and Far North which lean heavily on the theme of survival in the wilderness. Ghost Canoe is different. It is a Pacific Northwest mystery bristling with an island lighthouse, shipwrecks, Spanish gold, an ancient Indian canoe tomb, whaling, Makah Indians, a secretive "hairy man," unexplained footprints on a desolate beach and murder. Young Nathan MacAllister is determined to piece together the clues even if it means his own death.
