"A fantastic story.... The writing was outstanding...and hooked me from start to finish. Five Stars." -Readers' Favorite
An elderly homeowner's seemingly natural death in a slow seaside town needles newly minted police chief Silas Lopez, compelling him to dig into circumstances that refuse to sit right. When a troubling tox screen and a cache of meticulous notes on shadowy real estate deals surface, the death twists into something far more sinister. In a town where every square foot of sand comes with a story, nothing is ever simple.
From the quiet streets of Provincetown to the dark underbelly of property finance, Silas follows a trail of missing records, unlisted sales, and companies that exist only on paper. With each step closer to the truth, the danger mounts, pulling him into the crosshairs of a ruthless real-estate frontman, a syndicate of shell companies, and a conspiracy powered by threats and money.
But standing down isn't in Silas's nature. A ranch-hand-turned-cop with grit in his blood and a moral compass that won't budge, he leans on instinct, stubbornness, and the help of civilian advisor Wren Bradford, whose sharp insight keeps the human cost of the investigation in focus. With his team of young cops at his side, Silas navigates forged signatures, whispered threats, and attempted hits as they zero in on a death far too convenient to ignore.
What begins as a routine inquiry becomes a battle for Provincetown itself. In a town where everyone wants a piece of paradise, the hardest thing to protect isn't the land, but the people who still call it home.
