The Blood-Stained Bay (John Jordan Mysteries Book 31)

A pregnant woman vanishes on Christmas Eve. Everyone suspects her husband. John Jordan is not convinced. Emma Oliver is young, sweet, and seemingly adored by everyone in Pottersville. Then she disappears. At the center of the investigation is her husband, Brady. He refuses to make a public plea for Emma’s safe return. His carefully controlled composure begins to crack. He changes his alibi. And his boat was seen near the desolate shore of St. Amaro Bay on the day his pregnant wife vanished. The evidence is mounting. The public has already decided Brady is guilty. John Jordan hasn't. Then an unexpected storm lashes the coast and washes a grim discovery ashore. Suddenly, a missing-person investigation becomes something far darker, and the evidence points even more strongly in one direction. But something doesn't add up. With the media turning the case into a circus and public opinion becoming its own kind of trial, John must separate evidence from assumption, truth from lies, and what everyone believes happened from what actually did. Because someone knows what happened to Emma Oliver. And if John follows the obvious answer instead of the right one, another life may be lost. A pregnant woman missing. A husband everyone believes is guilty. A storm that washes something terrible ashore. John Jordan has to find the truth before the case is decided by everyone but him. Read more
