About this ebook

December 1900. A ship passes a remote Scottish outpost and reports something impossible: the light meant to guide sailors through the Atlantic dark is gone. Not dimmed. Gone.

Eleven days pass before a relief boat can reach the rock. When it finally lands on the Flannan Isles, the men find a table set for a meal never eaten, an overturned chair, and a lighthouse empty of the three keepers sworn to tend it. James Ducat. Thomas Marshall. Donald Macarthur. Vanished without a trace, their final logbook entry cut off mid-routine.

No bodies. No struggle. No answer.
