Leslie McFarlane - Author
A holiday mystery combines seaside atmosphere, a threatened restoration project, secret lighthouse signals and an elusive surfer. The investigation follows Jean and Louise Dana and their friends as they try to connect apparently unusual events.
Jean and Louise Dana are spending spring vacation with their Starhurst School friends at the resort town of Horizon on the Atlantic coast. The seaside town is being restored to its original Victorian-era character -- but the restoration project is plagued by thievery and sabotage. The Dana sisters and their dates, Chris Barton and Ken Scott, are plunged into the mystery when they witness a lumber theft, discover that signals are being sent from an abandoned lighthouse, and see the nocturnal surfer who time after time mysteriously vanishes before reaching shore.

Jean and Louise Dana and their friends become involved after witnessing a lumber theft and noticing signals from an abandoned lighthouse.
Horizon is being restored to its original Victorian-era character while thievery and sabotage interfere with the project.
The group sees a nocturnal surfer who repeatedly disappears before reaching shore and discovers signals from an abandoned lighthouse.
The book offers a chance to discuss how restoration can change a place’s character, and how witnesses decide which apparently separate clues deserve attention during an investigation.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
