–Wall Street Journal

A small town in coastal Maine is shaken to its core by a serial killer in this crime novel from Peter Nichols, bestselling author of The Rocks

In scenic Granite Harbor, life has continued on―quiet and serene―for decades. That is until a local teenager is found brutally murdered in the Settlement, the town’s historic archaeological site. Alex Brangwen, adjusting to life as a single father with a failed career as a novelist, is the town’s sole detective. This is his first murder case and, as both a parent and detective, Alex knows the people of Granite Harbor are looking to him to catch the killer and temper the fear that has descended over the town.

Isabel, a single mother attempting to support her family while healing from her own demons, finds herself in the middle of the case when she begins working at the Settlement. Her son, Ethan, and Alex’s daughter, Sophie, were best friends with the victim. When a second body is found, both parents are terrified that their child may be next. As Alex and Isabel race to find the killer in their midst, the town’s secrets―past and present―begin bubbling to the surface, threatening to unravel the tight-knit community.

At once a page-turning thriller and a captivating portrait of the social fabric of a small town, Granite Harbor evokes the atmosphere of HBO’s Mare of Easttown with a villain reminiscent of Thomas Harris’s Silence of the Lambs.

This is his first murder case, and as both a parent and a detective, Alex knows that the people of Granite Harbor are looking to him to catch the killer and calm the fear that hangs over the town.

Isabelle is a single mother struggling to support her family while trying to heal her own demons. When she starts working at the settlement, she finds herself in the middle of the case. Her son, Ethan, and Alex’s daughter, Sophie, were best friends of the victims. When a second body is found, both parents are terrified that their children could be next. As Alex and Isabelle race against the clock to find the killer, secrets from the town’s past and present begin to surface, threatening the close-knit community.

Granite Harbor is both a riveting thriller and a fascinating portrait of small-town social structure, with an atmosphere reminiscent of HBO’s East Side Nightmares and a villain reminiscent of Thomas Harris’ The Silence of the Lambs.
