Crimson shore / Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child.

Preston, Douglas J. (Author). Child, Lincoln. (Added Author).

Summary:

Pendergast and his ward Constance Greene travel to the quaint seaside village of Exmouth, Massachusetts, to investigate the theft of a priceless wine collection. But inside the wine cellar, they find a bricked-up niche that once held a crumbling skeleton. Local legend holds that during the 1692 witch trials in Salem, the real witches escaped, fleeing north to Exmouth and settling deep in the surrounding salt marshes, where they continued to practice their wicked arts. But the sins of the past are still very much alive when a new corpse turns up in the marshes. The only clue is a series of demonic carvings that could lead to an ancient witches' colony, long believed to be abandoned.
