The Buried Coast

Standalone  ·  Horror Thriller

For twenty years, the dangerous combination of familiarity kept his secrets. Then Hurricane Helena arrived.

Ray Culbertson is a long-haul trucker. Reliable operator. A quiet man who leaves the back roads of the Gulf Coast better than he found them — and the hidden places along them.

Detective Leila Vega has spent two decades working the dead ends of Sarasota County's unsolved cases. Three of them share a face.

When a Category 4 storm surge scours the coastal lowlands and the Gulf begins returning what the coast has absorbed over decades, Vega understands that the accounting is finally due.

"The storm opened the earth."
