The Hope of the Stone Man

Ending the Stone Man Trilogy is The Hope of the Stone Man. In this book the over-arching story that starts and ends each of the first two novels (featuring Paul, Meredith, Tim and Shannon) is brought to completion. Years after the close of the story in The Journey of the Stone Man, the second book of the trilogy, Tim and Shannon find an old box of papers as they clean out their garage. The notebooks represent a rough journal written at the end of Joseph Marino’s life, as described in The Pearls of the Stone Man. The find compels them to contact Paul, Joseph’s son. During a reading of the journal, without knowing it, Tim and Shannon present Paul with a reminder of a mystery from his childhood. A quest is born that takes the readers back decades and out on to the Pacific Ocean.
