Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

For a hundred years, the people of Moon Wave Cove have prayed to Bhoomi - a strange stone deity, half elephant, half hippo, who has watched over the island's joys and sorrows from the top of Prayer Hill. Then one morning, she's simply gone.

What follows is a sickness, a tsunami, a drought - and two years of grief with no answers, no culprit, and no explanation anyone can live with. When Officer Deeno finally stumbles onto the truth behind Bhoomi's disappearance, it sends him further from home than he's ever been in his life - into a stranger's mansion, a spectacularly disastrous midnight burglary, and a secret sixty years in the making that could either heal his island or shatter it for good.

Funny, wildly emotional, and unexpectedly wise, The Word of the Stone follows one stubborn police officer, the woman who's loved him for twelve years without saying so, and a whole island learning that faith is rarely about what you can prove - it's about what you choose to hold onto when everything else is underwater.

A story about grief, corruption, second chances, and the very human need to believe in something bigger than ourselves - even when "something bigger" turns out to be a lot more complicated than anyone expected.
