Crescent Bay is the kind of place where secrets are meant to stay buried. When the past resurfaces in a way no one expects, a dangerous investigation pulls two seasoned operatives into a case that refuses to follow the rules. What begins as a routine assignment quickly reveals something darker-something unfinished-and far closer to home than either of them is prepared for. They've worked side by side for years. Trusted each other with their lives. Avoided the one risk neither could afford to take. Until there's nowhere left to run. As the threat closes in and the harbor becomes a pressure point instead of a refuge, old instincts collide with unspoken desire. Forced proximity strips away professional distance, leaving behind truths neither can ignore-and a connection that's been waiting far too long. Because in Crescent Bay, danger doesn't just come from the shadows. Sometimes it comes from what you've been trying not to feel. And when the past demands its due, surviving may require risking everything-including the one person who could change it all.

In the quiet town of Oakhaven, the stakes have never been higher. The annual BBQ competition is one day away, and Chef Isabella's world-famous "Secret Glaze" has been stolen! ​Enter Arthur Pumble: an amateur detective with a very long trench coat, a magnifying glass he barely knows how to use, and boots that squeak with every heroic step. Arthur is convinced this is the crime of the century. ​From interrogating suspicious Golden Retrievers to surviving "lethal" vegan smoothies, Arthur's investigation is a trail of hilarious errors and dramatic misunderstandings. But as the clock ticks down, can this bumbling detective actually find the thief before the ribs go dry? ​One mystery. Eight chapters. A lot of kale. Join Arthur Pumble in a detective comedy where the only thing sharper than his wit is his appetite.

In a world, where showing emotion is a dangerous weakness, love becomes the only beacon of hope. No one noticed exactly when people began to fall victim to the broken life of monotony, but by the time humanity realized that witnessing strong emotion triggered violence in the infected, it was too late. Evelyn Li is not a fan of risk. Confined to the safety of an underground bunker for the past two years, when Evie stumbles upon a radio broadcast hosted by a mysterious boy with a sharp tongue and an impressive record collection, she's inspired to embark on a mission fuelled by the belief that her family might still be out there (and definitely not because she's desperate to finally meet the boy whose voice has been her sole companion since the darkness descended). Jonathan Johnson is not an optimist and definitely not a romantic. He wasn't at all surprised when the world ended or even when the Soulless took over the streets. With the weight of rising tensions in the colonies, an absentee father, and heart-breaking tragedy resting on his shoulders, Jonathan would much rather escape into his record collection and secret radio broadcast than deal with the general bleakness of life in the apocalypse. As he is reluctantly roped into Evie's search for links to her past, Jonathan begins to wonder if he can ever truly escape his. Together, the unlikely pair must navigate the treacherous landscapes of both the unforgiving world around them and the complicated emotions within. Will their connection withstand the trials of a world consumed by darkness, or will it become just another casualty of the apocalypse?
