The Fishers of Paradise by Rachael Preston

Catalog-Cover
There’s a power to be mined in keeping secrets.
When a handsome drifter settles in the boathouse colony, a ragtag collection of shacks that line the shores of Cootes Paradise on Dundas Marsh, Egypt Fisher and her mother both fall under his spell. No one expects Egypt’s gambling con-man father to return after a six-year absence. But he does and he’s furious. Unhinged by jealousy and a harrowing brush with the local mafia, he reveals a family secret that threatens to destroy the relationship between mother and daughter. When Egypt tries to turn the situation to her own advantage, her lies set in motion a series of events that collide with the ambitions of a local politician who has set his sights on beautifying the city’s north west entrance and wiping the boathouse colony from the map.
