The Secrets of Matagorda Bay is the sequel to Sedona's Golden Secret. Dr. Katherine VanDyke, an educator, geologist and archeologist, disappeared while leading students on a graduate field trip. Homeland Security Agent Joe Lombardi called on Dr. Crystal O'Connor, a social scientist and instructor in the metaphysical, and former friend of Dr. VanDyke's, to help in the search. Dr. O'Connor joins the search party in Palacios, a small fishing and vacation town on the Texas Gulf Coast. The rest, as they say, is history.
