ABOUT THE BOOK

"A thoroughly entertaining and suspenseful debut, from a writer to watch. The Washashore has action, terrific dialogue, and a charming cast of characters that will keep you hooked on this promising new series." -William Landay, New York Times bestselling author of Defending Jacob

"A gripping, addictive page turner. Atmospheric, character-driven, and relentlessly suspenseful." -Mary J. Cronin, international best-selling author, entrepreneur & podcaster

"Mirabile's portrayal of Provincetown is textured and atmospheric, grounding the mystery in a vividly drawn community. Readers who enjoy character-driven crime fiction with a strong sense of place and careful attention to investigative detail will find much to appreciate in The Washashore." -Readers' Favorite, 5 Stars

A fatal late-night hit-and-run shatters the quiet of Provincetown, drawing interim police chief Silas Lopez into a case that appears straightforward-until the cracks begin to show. In a town where secrets wash ashore with every tide, nothing is ever as it seems.

From windswept dunes and secretive cranberry farms to the gritty docks of New Bedford, Silas chases a trail of shifting lies-missing trucks, grainy night-vision photos, and a maze of half-truths-each step pulling him deeper into a game no one wants him to play. The deeper he digs, the more formidable the forces that rise to stop him.

But Silas isn't one to back down. A fifteenth-generation ranch hand turned plain-spoken cop, he's fueled by grit, instinct, and a stubborn streak that won't quit. With a young department still finding its footing and a growing bond with fiery social worker Wren Bradford, Silas presses on as the tide of danger rises around them.

What begins as a tragic accident investigation unravels into something far darker and more dangerous, forcing Silas to confront a threat that could cost him everything he holds dear.

Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Archer Mayor, and William Kent Krueger, this first Silas Lopez Mystery blends small-town intrigue, windswept coast beauty, criminal noir, and relentless suspense into a gripping debut that will keep fans of mystery series turning pages long into the night.
