There was a sailor's graveyard in Moon Beach. This was where the funeral business first started. Rumour had it that the witch's fingers used to reach out and sink ships. But there hadn't been a wreck for years, and all the funeral parlours had moved downtown.

The novel is filled with colourful eccentrics and unworldly happenings, quirky characters and supernatural undercurrents ...
