The Lost Coast

Summary

The fifth novel in the bestselling Clay Edison series

When coroner-turned-private investigator Clay Edison is approached to work on a fraud case, he uncovers more than he bargained before: a decades-old scheme targeting the vulnerable.

His investigation leads him to a strange town in the remote California wilderness where the residents don't care much for outsiders.

They certainly don't like Clay asking questions. And they'll do just about anything to keep him quiet. . .
