Introduction
Tomas, (Tom) was always a bit of a loner; a nice and gentle man with a quiet kindness. Since his wife of sixteen years committed suicide, Tom had become more distant and aloof. It was a shock to all when Tom’s dead body washed up on Point Michaud beach, miles away from his home in Louisbourg. He was dressed in 18th century clothing, which had been taken from the costume department at the Fortress of Louisbourg, where he worked as a night watchman. Many questioned the timing and reasons for his demise and contemplated the mystery: what was he clutching in his waterlogged fist, and where did it come from?
The mysteries begins to unravel soon after an anti-social nighthawk named Celine takes over Tom’s position as night watchman. She finds Tom’s diaries which explain his peculiar behaviours during the last months of his life, which as it turned out, were the best weeks of his heart.
