Books like Flashback by Nevada Barr
After accepting a proposal of marriage from Sheriff Paul Davidson, Anna Pigeon takes a temporary supervisory ranger position on Garden Key, a remote group of islands in the Dry Tortugas National Park, seventy miles off Key West. The isolated island, once a prison for Lincoln conspirators, holds secrets from its gritty Civil War past. With limited communication and companionship from a single law‑enforcement ranger, Anna must untangle the mystery of a boat explosion and the discovery of unidentifiable body parts that implicate her in both present danger and a web of ancient crimes. While dealing with the island’s harsh environment and poor radio contact, she discovers clues that connect her own family history to the fort’s secrets, forcing her to confront the past to protect herself and those around her.
