McCarty Incog: A brisk tale of crime, courage, and old loyalties on the edge of a New England coast

The pursuit hinges on careful observation, cautious moves, and a battle of wates between truth and rumor.

The tension builds as medical examiners, onlookers, and a sharp-witted coroner reveal new details that could change the course of justice. A storm of questions, expert deduction, and a stubborn resolve push toward a final reckoning.
