While her cousin Viv attends a wished-for class on the craft of Nantucket lightship baskets, Lin Coffin visits the island's cultural museum's exhibition on the history of the woven baskets.

Lin and Viv, with the help of several others, work to solve the mystery of the theft, a murder, and why a Native American ghost appears to ask Lin for help.
