Graveyard Bay

By Thomas Kies

Time is running out…

The nude bodies of a corrupt judge and a Jane Doe are found under the icy, black waters at Groward Bay Marina, chained to the prongs of a mammoth fork lift. A videotape points to Merlin Finn, a ruthless gang leader with a proclivity for bondage and S&M who had recently broken out of prison. In the videotape, he's wearing a black leather bondage mask.

With the newspaper she works for about to be sold and her job in jeopardy, journalist Geneva Chase investigates pill mills, crooked doctors, and a massive money laundering scheme in an attempt to identify the murdered woman and find the killer. Along the way, she finds herself working with a disgraced New York cop and a host of other unlikely characters with ties to the criminal underworld.

Geneva is clearly hot on the killer's trail, but when she is kidnapped and held at the mercy of the criminals she hoped to stop, it looks like her chance to uncover the darkness that has seeped through her hometown may be lost forever.

Reviews for Graveyard Bay

[rmarcin-630843 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Book 3 really continues much of what happened in book 2 (Darkness Lane), so be sure to read that first! The notebook that Genie received has her trying to decipher the codes in the book. This leads to her following a drug dealer, and that sets a slew of things in motion. Genie is still in the sights of the Tolbonov brothers, the newspaper may get sold due to lost advertising dollars, and Genie is investigating some ruthless murders as well as some drug deaths. She continues to rely on Shana Neese and John Singleton for help (from book 2). Of course, Mike Dillon, police is also a great confidant. Genie may be on to a new adventure, but she is still digging deep into the scary world of murder!
