Seavy Village Series

Whale Rock Police Chief Jaclyn Tadero faces the Oregon Coast's version of the perfect storm: a tsunami warning during a winter squall. And thanks to Seavy County Coroner Hamilton Denne, she finds herself scouring the beach for idiots drawn to the tsunami's approach. Tadero thinks Denne sent her on a fool's errand—until she stumbles across something on the beach. Something that poses a far greater threat than the tsunami, the storm, or anything else the former Chicago cop has ever faced.
