When a young waitress is found dead at a New England beachside resort, a retired defense analyst with a mysterious past must uncover the truth behind her murder. Lewis Cole thought he'd left his demons behind. He was looking for serenity, retiring from his high-stress Defense Department job to become a magazine columnist living in the New Hampshire coast. But when a teenage waitress turns up dead, Cole finds himself thrust into action. There is something about this town, and the circumstances surrounding her death, that just doesn't add up. As Cole delves deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the coastal community, he must navigate a web of deceit and danger, making unlikely alliances in his desperate search for justice. Grappling with a past marked by tragedy, he will first have to confront his own darkness and self-doubt. Can Lewis Cole catch a shadowy killer and find peace within himself? Or is he in way over his head? Dive into the first thrilling novel in New York Times bestselling author Brendan DuBois's Lewis Cole series. With a dark blend of mystery and twists, Dead Sand is a must-listen for fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly.

      April 4, 1994
      Diane Woods, sole detective in the police department of Tyler, N.H., privately welcomes the unofficial assistance of magazine writer Lewis Cole during what amounts to a crime wave in the coastal town. Soon after an unidentified corpse, buried decades ago, is unearthed by a developer's backhoe, Lynn Germano, a waitress at the local diner, is found strangled in the ``prime beachfront cottage'' she rented. Felix Tinios, an acquaintance of Cole's who works freelance for organized crime, dismisses the Germano murder as amateurish. But when Cole just misses being on a boat that explodes, killing the fisherman who said he had info about the strangling, and then finds a molotov cocktail on his property, he doubts his source's veracity. First-novelist DuBois, an Edgar nominee for short fiction, spreads references to Cole's earlier departure from the Department of Defense in Nevada, which left the agency uneasy and him permanently wary, throughout the story. The narrative scraps of Cole's past mix with secret histories of current players in the coastal mysteries to yield a somewhat overstuffed tale. But DuBois continues to show promise; maybe Cole's next appearance will deliver on it.
