Exploring Put-in-Bay pirate-style, best friends Francie and June once again find themselves in pursuit of a Lake Erie Island murderer. Labor Day weekend has South Bass Island transformed into a pirate's paradise featuring a competitive scavenger hunt, signature drinks, and cuisine with a distinct pirate flair.

Francie's rum-inspired stew recipe is the golden ticket to a three-night stay aboard the luxurious ship, Angel's Trumpet. It was going to be the best anniversary weekend ever. That is, until the final course of their first evening meal serves up a murder.

A pesky parrot spouting cryptic clues has Francie wondering where to turn. June's lost wallet is only the tip of the iceberg in a rash of missing possessions, and people all around are exhibiting strange symptoms and unexpected behavior. Is it a figment of Francie's imagination, or is something sinister happening aboard the ship?

Francie and June's sleuthing skills are put to the ultimate test when things take an alarming turn. Will they pull a win out the bag, or will this island vacation be their last?
