About this listen

Miwaka: Vanished Ship

by Harper Stanwick, Sr. is a gripping mystery novel set in the chilling expanse of Lake Michigan during the late 19th century. In the heart of a fierce December storm in 1895, the steel freighter Miwaka vanishes without a trace on its maiden voyage, carrying twenty-five souls. The legendary tribal drumbeat, said to echo whenever the lake claims a life, signals only twenty-four beats, leaving a lingering hope that one man might have survived.

Benjamin Gagne, a seasoned lake captain turned shipping magnate, is haunted by this inexplicable mystery. Living in near isolation on Astor Street, Gagne is tormented by the ghosts of past tragedies and the shadow of his own sorrow. His only solace comes from his business partner, Lawrence Aase, and Aase's daughter, Darlene, who shares a special bond with him. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when Gagne himself mysteriously disappears after writing a letter to Jerry Miller, a young man from Blue Rapids, Kansas, who has long questioned his origins. Summoned to Chicago, Jerry arrives to find a city on the edge of the Great Lakes, its roaring waves mirroring the turmoil within his heart. Jerry discovers that Gagne is his father, unraveling a web of secrets that span decades.

As he delves deeper into Gagne's past, he uncovers a tragic misadventure that altered his father's life and led to his mother's departure to France. Jerry's quest for answers brings him to Gagne's house, where he confronts the remnants of his father's troubled life and the haunting mystery of the Miwaka. Miwaka: Vanished Ship is a poignant exploration of identity and reconciliation, set against the timeless and turbulent waters of Lake Michigan. Harper Stanwick, Sr. weaves a tale of love, loss, and the relentless pull of the Great Lakes' mysteries.
