Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman: The Lost Coast (USA 2025)

From the Publisher:
The riveting new Clay Edison thriller from the bestselling, acclaimed father-son duo who write "brilliant, page-turning fiction" (Stephen King)
Cut loose from his former life at the coroner's office, Clay Edison has set up shop as a private investigator. It's steady, safe work. Until it isn't.

The trouble begins when a young man, tasked with managing his grandmother's estate, hires Clay to examine some minor financial discrepancies. What starts off as a case of simple fraud rapidly explodes into a web of deception, an elaborate con game stretching back decades and involving countless victims.

All the evidence points to a tiny town on California's rugged, remote Lost Coast. Good luck getting there, though. And Clay's reward for surviving the journey is a trigger-happy welcoming committee, ready to guard their secrets with lethal force.

Navigating this landscape of savage waves and savage lies brings Clay into collision with a host of other players: a grieving mother, an enigmatic teenager, a reclusive military veteran, a foul-mouthed PI pursuing her own agenda. And the price of truth will turn out to be higher -- and deadlier -- than Clay could have imagined.

From the minds of Jonathan and Jesse Kellerman comes a heart-stopping tale of deception and redemption -- bursting with action, suspense, and unforgettable characters.
