Fans of B.J. Montford's Sea-born Women (2002) will welcome the return of National Park Service volunteer Roberta ""Bert"" Lenehan in Bloodlines of Shackleford Banks. On an isolated island on North Carolina's Outer Banks, Bert is supposed to help check the island's wild horses for diseases, but the death in the dunes of a fellow volunteer diverts her onto the sleuthing trail.
