Chief Ellie Cook has seen plenty of horrors on the Oregon coast, but nothing prepares her for the first body that shouldn't exist. The crime scene mimics the infamous Highway 101 killer with disturbing precision-except for one wrong detail. A mistake so small only Ellie would notice. A mistake that feels personal.
As a private security empire tightens its grip on the town, a missing survivor resurfaces, and a series of staged killings escalate, Ellie is pushed past her limits. Pain, withdrawal, insomnia, and old trauma chew at her judgment while alliances shift and enemies close in. Someone is copying the ritual. Someone is watching her watch them. And someone else-the one she fears most-is waking back up.
The False Line is a dark, fast-paced coastal thriller for fans of Tana French, Gillian Flynn, and crime fiction with grit, grief, and a pulse. Prepare for fog, violence, obsession, and a detective who refuses to break even when she's already in pieces.
