Lucy's nemesis, Louise Jane McKaughnan, confesses to entering the library after closing to sneak a peek but denies seeing Jeremy-or his killer. Clearly Jeremy was not the only one who broke into the library-the map and the coded page are missing. Later that night, Lucy and Connor McNeil find the body of historical society member Jeremy Hughes inside the library. The library is overrun by people clamoring to see the artifact. Tucked inside is a hand-drawn map of the Outer Banks accompanied by a page written in an indecipherable code. The digging halts when Lucy pulls a battered tin box containing a Civil War-era diary from the pit. The Bodie Island Lighthouse Library Classic Novel Book Club is reading Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne while workers dig into the earth to repair the Lighthouse Library's foundations. But if she can't crack its code, she may end up read and buried. Librarian Lucy Richardson unearths a mysterious map dating back to the Civil War.
