Amid a mountain of rain-soaked donations to the Ohnita Harbor Public Library rummage sale, Gabriela Domenici finds a small box that contains an odd-looking cross. When the carved centre turns out to be ivory and a clue links the cross to Catherine of Siena, a medieval saint, Gabriela turns to her expertise as an authenticator of historic documents to lead the quest to discover the truth about this mysterious object.

But the cross isn't the only secret in town: first, a beloved Ohnita Harbor resident is found floating in the harbour and then someone else is murdered on the library lawn. As Gabriela races to solve the mystery of the cross, she discerns between infatuation and what could be the start of true love. All the while, she must stay one step ahead of the danger that slowly encircles her.

The Secrets of Ohnita Harbor by Patricia Crisafulli is a suspenseful tale combining mystery, history, and romance, set against the intriguing backdrop of a quaint harbour town.
