Half Moon Bay

Deputy Coroner Clay Edison discovers that buried secrets can be deadly in this riveting thriller from a father-son team of bestselling authors who write `brilliant, page-turning fiction` (Stephen King). An ID Book Club Selection Clay Edison has his hands full. He`s got a new baby who won`t sleep. He`s working the graveyard shift. And he`s trying, for once, to mind his own business. Then comes the first call. Workers demolishing a local park have made a haunting discovery: the decades-old skeleton of a child. But whose? And how did it get there? No sooner has Clay begun to investigate than he receives a second call--this one from a local businessman, wondering if the body could belong to his sister. She went missing fifty years ago, the man says. Or at least I think she did. It`s a little complicated. And things only get stranger from there. Clay`s relentless search for answers will unearth a history of violence and secrets, revolution and betrayal. Because in this town, the past isn`t dead. It`s very much alive. And it can be murderous.
