Granite Harbor

A small town in coastal Maine is shaken to its core by a serial killer.

In scenic Granite Harbor, life has continued on—quiet and serene—for decades. That is until a local teenager is found brutally murdered at the town’s historic archaeological site known as the Settlement.

Alex Brangwen, a single father adjusting to his new life after a failed career as a novelist, becomes the town’s sole detective. This is his first murder case—and as both parent and detective, he feels the weight of the town’s expectations.

Isabel, a single mother trying to support her family while healing from past trauma, gets pulled into the case when she begins working at the Settlement. Her son Ethan and Alex’s daughter Sophie were best friends with the murdered teen. When a second body is found, both parents fear their children may become the next victims. As Alex and Isabel race to uncover the killer, the town’s buried secrets—past and present—begin to unrave

At once a page-turning thriller and a vivid portrait of the social fabric of a small town, Granite Harbor evokes the atmosphere of a twisted small-town mystery where everyone has something to hide.
