The Ocean's Edge

Fifteen years ago, a night on the shores of the Outer Banks changed Claudia Mercer’s life forever. Now, haunted by questions she can’t let go, Claudia returns to the North Carolina coast to find her missing brother - and confront the ghosts of her past.

When she crosses paths with CQ, a shadowy figure from that fateful night, Claudia uncovers a web of secrets that stretches across decades. CQ claims to know where her brother is, but his motives seem as murky as the storm-tossed waters.

Soon, Claudia discovers that the answers she seeks may come with a deadly price. As a nor'easter approaches, Claudia must use all of her wit to untangle the web of lies. But can she find redemption and hope at the ocean’s edge, or will she be swept away by the secrets she uncovers?

A gripping tale of suspense and second chances, Susan Thumm Paxton's THE OCEAN'S EDGE is perfect for fans of atmospheric mysteries and dark family dramas.
