Coastal Vendetta: A Myrtle Beach Mystery (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088118061)

Every secret on the coast has a cost.

Bookstore owner Clark Thomas and his wife, former detective Gina Gomez, have fought hard to rebuild their lives on the sun-washed shores of Myrtle Beach. But when a violent act shatters their peace, Clark discovers that some vendettas never fade-and the past has a way of striking back with deadly precision.

As investigators close in, they are forced to revisit the ghosts of Gomez's father's unfinished cases from his days as a Newark detective. Could an old enemy be settling a decades-old score? Or does the motive lie closer to home? Tied to the murders that once rocked Surfside Beach, or to the man she once loved, now imprisoned for covering up two brutal deaths that changed Clark's life forever?

Each lead uncovers new layers of betrayal, corruption, and deceit stretching along the Carolina coast. The deeper Clark and Gomez dig, the more they realize that the truth is tangled in a web of revenge.

When someone Clark holds most dear becomes the target, the case turns personal. With time running out, Clark must bend rules, risk everything, and trust almost no one to expose a network of secrets that could destroy everything they've built together.

In this pulse-pounding Southern thriller, vengeance has a long memory, justice may demand an unthinkable price, and every choice on the coast could be your last.
