Hardcover binding. Year: 1981 ISBN: 0877953422 A true-life ghost story in the form of a novel. In a Coast Guard cutter on the dazzlingly frozen in-shore seas of Maine, where strange events take on a meaning and, some say, even a life of their own, two ghostly figures appear on board: the chief engineer drowned at sea, and a lobsterman whose boat came home empty, portents of unknown, unspeakable things to come. Objects go missing; freak accidents add up; crewmen turn inward, and on each other.
