The Invisible Husband of Frick Island

Piper Parrish''s life on Frick Island - a tiny, remote town smack in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay - is nearly perfect. Well, aside from one pesky detail. When her beloved husband Tom''s crab boat capsized and his body wasn''t recovered, Piper, rocked to the core, did a most peculiar thing: carried on as if her husband was still alive; cooking him breakfast, walking him to the docks each morning, meeting him for their standard Friday night dinner date at the One-Eyed Crab. And what were the townspeople to do but go along with it? Anders Caldwell''s career is not going well. But when he gets an assignment to travel to the remote Frick Island and cover their boring annual Cake Walk fundraiser, he stumbles upon a much more fascinating tale: an entire town pretending to see and interact with a man who does not actually exist. Determined it''s the career-making story he''s been needing for his podcast, Anders returns to the island to begin covert research and spend more time with the enigmatic Piper - but he has no idea out of all the lives he''s about to upend, it''s his that will change the most.
