In the summer of 2022, Britain and America reunite, as it were, in this page turning firecracker, the suspense/thriller THE SENTINEL HOUSE Family Secrets. British philanthropist and explorer Ian Kensington is compelled to start a new expedition after learning of the truth behind the 300-year-old Ocracoke Con. A story that scammed history. (Blackbeard's plan to retire from piracy by faking his death―it was his lookalike cook). On a small island off the North Carolina coast, Kensington joins Genevieve 'Evie' Chapman, the island caretaker and descendant of Blackbeard, in the pursuit of the scoundrel's long-lost treasure. Discovering the secrets of the Sentinel House is not nearly enough. If they hope to succeed, they must navigate the complexities of their developing relationship, and the challenges of treachery and mayhem inflicted by the menacing factions of Blackbeard's local descendants.
