A troubled young man. A murder that shocks the town. Buried secrets exposed to the world. They find him on the beach, shooting bullets into the sand. His name? Jeremiah Cooper, the son of the bullheaded high school football coach. Slight of build, soft of voice, he's got all kinds of torment lurking behind his eyes. But despite Garrison Gage's best efforts, he can't pull the kid out of his shell. Then someone turns up dead at the local community college, and Jeremiah's fragile world shatters.

A curmudgeon. A loner. That's how people describe Garrison Gage, and that's when they're being charitable. After his wife's brutal murder in New York, and Gage himself is beaten nearly to death, the crippled private investigator retreats 3,000 miles to the quaint coastal town of Barnacle Bluffs, Oregon. He spends the next five years in a convalescent stupor, content to bide his time filling out crossword puzzles and trying to forget that his wife's death is his fault. But all that changes when he discovers the body of a young woman washed up on the beach....

DCI Craig Gillard will be pushed to his limits. But will he break? It seems like a routine disappearance, a case of musician’s stage fright. As a senior detective, Craig Gillard isn’t sure why he’s even involved. Until it turns out the woman’s father is the German minister of justice, and the British home secretary is on the case, too. But nothing about the case is simple. How does a woman on a train simply vanish? What do you do when a trail runs cold and the pressure is on? Before long the perpetrator has another target: DCI Gillard himself.

She's pointed a finger of suspicion at Addie after librarian June Winslow never makes it home from a book club meeting. And when June's found at the bottom of a steep flight of stairs, Addie's not only dealing with a busybody, but a dead body. It's a good thing the guy Addie's dating is the police chief. But both the case and her love life get more complicated when a lanky blonde reporter from Los Angeles shows up.

Publisher's Summary
They find his body at the bottom of Heceta Head Lighthouse - Ed Boone, a longtime volunteer who commits suicide rather than see his grim diagnosis to its bitter end. The strangeness of the old man's death makes the local news, but Garrison Gage thinks little of it until the famous Nora West sneaks into town with a strange letter in hand.
Professing he wants to go to his grave with a clear conscience, Ed claims to be Nora's biological father. But the revelation stirs up all kinds of complicated emotions for the talented but troubled musician, who hires Gage to find out the truth.
Yet the truth may be a lot more disturbing - and dangerous - than either of them are prepared to believe.

EXCELLENT. ONE OF THE BEST IN THE SERIES.
Scott William Carter did it again. Fantastic writing and well performed by Steven Roy Grimsley. Intense and gripping all through. Kept me awake the whole night to complete the book. Layers upon layers of secrets that kept me guessing who is actually the bad guy and what is the motive behind it all. Lots of suspense and gripping tensions throughout. Very, very good. I hope there will be more books for this series.

Gage is Back
Garrison returns to solve the mystery of a body found in the rocks at Heceta Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast. There's mystery, suspense, and lots of action, from fighting to romance. The return of familiar characters like Alex, the bookstore owner and Zoe, his adoptive daughter, lets you sink into this one-of-a-kind retired FBI agent's life. He's a rebel, sarcastic and witty, yet humble. The story unfolds amidst stunning descriptions of the gorgeous coastal landscapes. This character makes you wish he was real. Oh, and this book introduces Lady, a little dog who manages to unthaw the curmudgeon's heart. The narrator is excellent and performs male and female roles in a believable way! This book leaves me anxiously awaiting the next!
