Book description
A thrilling police procedural with supernatural elements, for fans of
Patricia Cornwell, John Connelly and Stephen King.
Ten weeks ago, Homicide Detective Sailor Doyle worked his first solo
case, a gruesome double murder in a remote farmhouse in Virginia. And
things turned very nasty for him . . .
Now Sailor is recuperating with his family at a beach house in Belmar,
on the New Jersey shore. He's struggling with prescription drug
withdrawal while trying to build up his shattered shoulder and leg, and
he's also trying to rebuild his shattered relationship with his wife.
Jenny, while pleased he's alive, is less enamoured with the idea of reconciliation.
Seeking refuge in a century-old beachfront resort hotel, Sailor meets an
elderly man, Mark "Moses" Stillman, a former minor league
baseball player whose wife and daughter drowned in the ocean off Belmar
years earlier. Sailor's having nightmares about his previous case, and
when he starts seeing things again, he realises that once again he's
being guided to the truth . . . even if it's not what he wants to hear.
And it's not long before he finds himself investigating those deaths.
