RAVEN'S WATCH
A Blackstone Isle Mystery
Ten years before the night Raven's Watch gave up its dead, Ethan Hart was only trying to send his sister to university.
The wages are good. The house is quiet. And Alexander Voss, the man who owns the island and everything on it, is the kindest employer Ethan has ever known. For two years, Ethan learns the rhythms of Raven's Watch: its hidden passages, its treacherous tides, the easy warmth of a staff small enough to feel like family.
Then a stuck desk drawer changes everything.
Beneath a set of ordinary harbor accounts lies a second ledger, one that reveals exactly what the town's new pier is built on, who was paid to look away, and how far five people Ethan has come to trust will go to protect what they've built together. He has a choice: walk away with what he knows, or bring it to the one man he still believes might do the right thing.
He chooses to believe in Alexander.
He is wrong.
If you've read Where the Sea Swallows Lies, you already know how this story ends. Raven's Watch is the story of how it began, and why five people who once called each other friends have spent ten years unable to look at the sea.
A slow-burn, character-driven mystery for readers who love atmospheric gothic settings, morally complicated betrayals, and a closed circle of people with everything to lose.
