Uncover Secrets in Carl Richards' Dark Coastal Suspense Novel
The latest Novel by Carl Richards
When a shocking news headline breaks, a chilling message follows:
Lukas... she's back.
Ava has returned to the quiet, weather-beaten coastal village she once called home, determined to uncover the truth about the violent night that shattered her life and forced Lukas to flee years ago. Desperate to keep the past buried, Lukas has no choice but to return to his family home on Barrow Quay, where his brother, Leif, still stands guard over their darkest secrets.
Years earlier, a brutal act of rage left a local boatman believed dead, his body weighted down and swallowed by the unforgiving sea. Lukas has carried the burden of that night alone, believing his silence would protect Ava, who was left with only fragmented, agonising memories of what really happened.
But the tide is turning.
Human remains have washed ashore. A police investigation is closing in. A mysterious silver car keeps watch outside the house. And worst of all, Ava is no longer willing to protect him.
As the carefully woven web of lies and silence begins to unravel, Lukas uncovers a terrifying truth: the secrets hidden within the tidal salt marsh run far deeper than he ever imagined. Between a cryptic local drifter, a haunted young girl living aboard an abandoned yacht, and a local pastor driven by blackmail and revenge, Lukas realises one horrifying fact...
He isn't the only one who knows what happened on the water.
