And what if you had been waiting three months for exactly that moment? Walter Ostrander is 69, a widower, and a retired salvage man who spent four decades pulling wrecks out of Lake Superior. Everyone sees a quiet old man in a cardigan. Then his daughter’s smooth-talking husband starts asking questions about an old cannery on Pier 9, a place Walter has never mentioned to anyone.

This is a story of family betrayal, patient revenge and karma, told by a father who knows exactly what he is protecting.
