Kellerman, Jonathan Half Moon Bay (0593102843)
Deputy Coroner Clay Edison discovers that buried secrets can be deadly in this riveting thriller from a father-son team of bestselling authors who write 'brilliant, page-turning fiction' (Stephen King). An ID Book Club Selection Clay Edison has his hands full. He's got a new baby who won't sleep. He's working the graveyard shift. And he's trying, for once, to mind his own business. Then comes the first call. Workers demolishing a local park have made a haunting discovery: the decades-old skeleton of a child. But whose? And how did it get there?
No sooner has Clay begun to investigate than he receives a second call--this one from a local businessman, wondering if the body could belong to his sister.
She went missing fifty years ago, the man says.
Or at least I think she did.
It's a little complicated.
And things only get stranger from there. Clay's relentless search for answers will unearth a history of violence and secrets, revolution and betrayal. Because in this town, the past isn't dead. It's very much alive. And it can be murderous.
