The Horror at Murden Cove


Book Description

A triple homicide. A blind witness. What is the sound of evil? Late one night, four friends walked to a park in an affluent Bainbridge Island neighborhood to celebrate the sale of their tech startup. The next morning, three dead bodies were found. One witness was left alive. Blind from birth, she didn't see anything. But she heard everything. The killer took his time, butchering her friends as she listened to every sadistic moment. What she heard left her broken, traumatized, and barely able to speak. Private investigator Thomas Austin is the only person who can get her to open up. And when she does, the suspect list is shocking: the murders were committed by one of five people, all of whom the witness was dating. Stranded on the island after a rare summer storm closes the bridges and ferries, Austin must crack the case before the storm ends and the killer escapes forever. But when another massacre occurs-this one more gruesome than the first-he realizes the killer's motive is not what he imagined. This killer is more depraved than any he's ever seen. This is the stuff of nightmares.
