The Lost Coast

Work hits too close to home for Deputy Coroner Clay Edison when his wife's life is thrown into jeopardy in this riveting, emotional thriller from the bestselling father-son team who write "brilliant, page-turning fiction" (Stephen King).

A tragedy at Safe Harbor Health Clinic leaves three dead and many traumatized, including Amy Sandek, psychologist and wife of Deputy Clay Edison. After her boss mysteriously stops showing up for work, Amy answers a call for help from Shasta Swann's family that brings her and Clay to the beautiful landscape of Humboldt County. 

Soon upon arrival, the couple realizes that all is not what it seems in the lovely Swann home. Family tensions. Forest fires. Missing people and dead bodies. Clay’s idyllic getaway becomes another day on the job, and there is no better partner for him to solve this mystery but his wife.
