The Muders of Martha Cove

When the coastal city of Martha Cove is swallowed by a brutal winter storm, something far darker moves beneath the ice. Bodies begin appearing along the shoreline, arranged with ritualistic precision, each marked by a killer who treats murder like a meticulous craft. The town whispers about patterns, cold cases, and a predator who was supposed to be long gone.
Detective David Hearth, worn thin by sleepless nights and bad coffee, is dragged back into the one investigation he hoped would never return. With his relentless partner Roxy, a German Shepherd with sharper instincts than most humans in the department, he follows a trail carved in fog, tidewater, and blood.
As the storm tightens its grip, old secrets thaw. The Cove's picturesque calm fractures. Political pressure mounts. Someone in town knows more than they're saying, and someone else is quietly counting down to the next kill.
Every clue pushes David closer to a truth the city has spent years burying.
And if he doesn't unmask the killer soon, Martha Cove won't survive the season.
A slow-burn mystery threaded with atmosphere, loyalty, grit, and the kind of danger that watches from the corner of your eye. Perfect for readers who crave tense detective work, creeping dread, and a city with too many secrets to stay quiet.
