THE WHISPERINGS, working title, Book 3 of Deanes Island Mystery Series, A Noah Drinkwater Mystery

I am slowly working on the 3rd book of my Deanes Island Mysteries series. It's slow-going, and I have been struggling with the plot. I finally sat myself down and just started writing. As you may have read in one of my Facebook posts, I'm including a section about American Indian burial grounds on some of the islands off the coast of the State of Maine.

Deanes Island, my imaginary island off the Maine coast near the city of Portland Maine, is one of those islands, and one day someone wants to build a house on land which "everyone knows" has an old Indian burial ground. In order to avoid controversy. Mayor Sewall and his councilmen ask the State archaeologist for assistance. 

Meanwhile, Noah drives to the lot to learn for himself if they do have a problem. While he's looking around, he hears chanting and soon sees an old woman dressed in what appears to be a worn Indian dress. She at first ignores Noah. Then she stops, looks straight at him and tells him in so many words, no one must disturb the bones of their ancestors, or someone will die. He watches her walk away, and decides to visit the Mayor and inform him of her presence.
