They find his body at the bottom of Heceta Head Lighthouse - Ed Boone, a longtime volunteer who commits suicide rather than see his grim diagnosis to its bitter end. The strangeness of the old man's death makes the local news, but Garrison Gage thinks little of it until the famous Nora West sneaks into town with a strange letter in hand.

Professing he wants to go to his grave with a clear conscience, Ed claims to be Nora's biological father. But the revelation stirs up all kinds of complicated emotions for the talented but troubled musician, who hires Gage to find out the truth.

Yet the truth may be a lot more disturbing - and dangerous - than either of them are prepared to believe.

Have listened to the complete series. Enjoyed this addition to the Garrison Gage Mystery series. Looking forward to Book 6, written by Scott William Carter and hopefully narrated by Steven Roy Grimsley.

Scott William Carter did it again. Fantastic writing and well performed by Steven Roy Grimsley. Intense and gripping all through. Kept me awake the whole night to complete the book. Layers upon layers of secrets that kept me guessing who is actually the bad guy and what is the motive behind it all. Lots of suspense and gripping tensions throughout. Very, very good. I hope there will be more books for this series.

EXCELLENT. ONE OF THE BEST IN THE SERIES.

I'm really enjoying this series. The narration is great, however the incorrect pronunciation of local towns and locations are painful for this local. Give me shout if you would like to hear how they should sound. ;)

As a PNW coastal local I really enjoy this series.

Performance.
Is always good in these novels. Intricate plot filled with surprises. It takes many twist and turns before it is finally resolved. Keeps you completely engaged.
