A register of genealogical records-hidden by priests for almost 200 years-may contain what Anton and Catarina need to create a historic trust for the people of the Azores and to save their home, Casa do Mar. But when they go to Faial to examine the register, they find that it has disappeared, and the last person to have it has been murdered. With the life of a dear friend hanging in the balance, they take matters into their own hands to find the register and a killer who is on the loose. Lori, Matias, Isabella, Maria Rosa, Felipe, and other old friends return to help solve another mystery that threatens the heritage of their people. Each book of the Azores Heritage Mysteries is set on a different island in the picturesque archipelago, and features a recurring cast of endearing local characters and visitors. As mysteries are solved, the tension between tradition and progress is explored. Death at the Crater's Edge offers a glimpse into the history, culture, and people of Faial.
