By B.K. Sweeting

"Pearlized" is a must-read masterpiece of fiction that is character-driven, full of mystery and thrills. As a boy, Ois n Murphy discovers a shiny pearl in a pool of blood beside the numeral twelve on the frozen bay behind his home. Breaking the ice, Ois n finds himself drowning in the freezing darkness below. This harrowing experience also falls on the day of his mother's unsolved disappearance. For a long time, Ois n has believed that the Pearl Point Murderer killed his mother. Despite his claims, both the authorities and his peers refuse to accept what he witnessed as a child.

Almost two decades later, as the world faces a pandemic, Ois n's inner demons resurface because of his isolated routine. The past catches up with him on October 13th as a sinister birthday card summons him to confront the terrifying day on the bay. He weighs his passion for justice for his mother against his pursuit of a meaningful life and love.

An ominous twist of events that covers both the east and west coast ensnares Ois n's closest friends, leading to a climax that you won't see coming.
