Half Moon Bay : A Novel : 3

Published:28 Jul 2020

Clay Edison has his hands full. He’s got a new baby who won’t sleep. He’s working the graveyard shift.

And he’s trying, for once, to mind his own business. Then comes the first call. Workers demolishing a local park have made a haunting discovery: the decades-old skeleton of a child.

But whose? And how did it get there?

No sooner has Clay begun to investigate than he receives a second call—this one from a local businessman, wondering if the body could belong to his sister. She went missing fifty years ago, the man says. Or at least I think she did.

It’s a little complicated.

And things only get stranger from there. Clay’s relentless search for answers will unearth a history of violence and secrets, revolution and betrayal. Because in this town, the past isn’t dead.

It’s very much alive. And it can be murderous.
