Killers' Retreat
A Coastal Murders Novel
by Barry Sargent
Breaker's Reach is the kind of seaside town where nothing bad is supposed to happen. The ocean is beautiful. The people are polite. The secrets are well kept.
Until the bodies start washing ashore.
When a prominent member of an exclusive country club is found dead below the cliffs, Detective Alex Rowe is called in to investigate what the town is eager to call an accident. Alex sees the truth immediately. The scene was staged. The victim was chosen. And someone wants the tide to do the talking.
As more bodies appear, Alex uncovers a connection no one wants examined. Every victim belonged to the same private retreat. Every one of them helped bury a death that happened years earlier, a young caddie whose life was quietly written off to protect powerful men.
The killer isn't hiding.
The town is.
Blocked at every turn by local influence, legal pressure, and a police department that knows when to look away, Alex pushes forward anyway. Because in Breaker's Reach, justice was negotiated long before Alex arrived, and truth comes at a price no one wants to pay.
Killers' Retreat is a gritty coastal crime thriller about power, silence, and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.
