- In addition to the main plot (Who is killing people on the Eastern Shore?), there are two subplots in Bird in Hand. One told by the letter writer aboard a ship bound for Annapolis in 1718. The other revolves around a tragic event that destroyed Sam’s family and the mysterious figure in the brown suit who bear some responsibility.
