From Peter Nichols, the author of The Rocks, comes his first crime novel Granite Harbor, about a small town in Maine under threat from 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 in the Settlement, the town’s historic archaeological
site. Alex Brangwen, adjusting to life as a single father with a failed career as a novelist, is the
town’s sole detective. This is his first murder case and, as both a parent and detective, Alex
knows the people of Granite Harbor are looking to him to catch the killer and temper the fear that
has descended over the town.
