Description
When a young waitress is found dead at a New England beachside resort, a retired defense analyst with a mysterious past must uncover the truth behind her murder.
Lewis Cole thought he’d left his demons behind. He was looking for serenity, retiring from his high-stress Defense Department job to become a magazine columnist living in the New Hampshire coast.
But when a teenage waitress turns up dead, Cole finds himself thrust into action. There is something about this town, and the circumstances surrounding her death, that just doesn’t add up.
As Cole delves deeper into the shadowy underbelly of the coastal community, he must navigate a web of deceit and danger, making unlikely alliances in his desperate search for justice. Grappling with a past marked by tragedy, he will first have to confront his own darkness and self-doubt.
Can Lewis Cole catch a shadowy killer and find peace within himself? Or is he in way over his head?
Dive into the first thrilling novel in New York Times bestselling author Brendan DuBois’ Lewis Cole series. With a dark blend of mystery and page-turning twists, Dead Sand is a must-read for fans of James Patterson and Michael Connelly.

"Dead Sand" by Brendan DuBois is a gripping and suspenseful thriller set in a small coastal town in Maine.
DuBois's writing is taut and fast-paced, with well-drawn characters and a plot that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. The book also explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption, adding depth and nuance to the plot. One of the strengths of the book is its vivid and evocative descriptions of the Maine coast, which add to the atmosphere of the story and make the setting feel like a character in its own right. The dialogue is also well-crafted, with believable and distinct voices for each of the characters. Overall, "Dead Sand" is a highly entertaining and well-written thriller that will appeal to fans of the genre. DuBois's skillful storytelling and attention to detail make for a satisfying and immersive reading experience. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with plenty of twists and turns.
Thank you to Severn River Publishing and Netgalley for the Arc in exchange for an honest review!

Brendan DuBois's DEAD SAND is an exciting first book in a mystery-thriller series (if I'm correct, this is a republication, since on Goodreads, there is a version with a different cover). Lewis is more likable and human than other ex-(fill in the government agency) characters I've read, and I enjoyed the story, especially the final twist. I've already picked up the second book!

Reading the prologue was an added bonus as the author wrote of his early endeavors before this book was released. The novel itself was very well designed with a protagonist who grows with each page. After trying to leave his past, he finds that his unique skills are required in this excellent murder mystery.
