Red Sky in the Morning Bill Hamann

Haunted by the death of his wife during an anniversary sailing cruise on Lake Erie, Captain Jack Grayson finds enough demons for a lifetime. In this complex maelstrom of treachery, deceit, and murder, Jack finally unmasks his demons in the office of psychologist Meagan Palmer. But just as he glimpses hope and romance, Jack finds himself fighting for his life. Richly set in the nautical history of Lake Erie, this story changes course and complexion with each chapter. At the "end of the line" with Jack, we discover the redeeming power of family and friends to give us a second chance at life.

According to the Great Lakes Historical Society Book Review, "Red Sky in the Moring is a tale of loves lost and found amid sailing and treachery on the inland seas that will grab even the casual reader. Sailors will enjoy the detail and nuances of handling the fictitious Irwin 37 ketch SEAQUESTOR, while manipulating Lake Erie's swiftly changing moods. Stories intertwine and surprise while taking the reader from Vermilion to Lorain's Black River and across the Great Lake to the Long Point Light. A perfect read for a windy November."
