Marsh decided to drive to Saltcreek himself. Every claim listed the same address: a beach house at the end of Pelican Road. If six dead people all lied about the same house, he wanted to stand in front of it.

A possible continuation
Marsh asked what 'number seven' meant. Six investigators had come before him, the woman said, each one drowned within three days of arriving. 'The claim isn't theirs,' she said. 'It's filed for them, by whoever wants them gone.' The victims had been investigators, just like Marsh.
