Siege on Cabo is the electrifying fifth novel in the Coastal Murder Series, a coastal noir thriller that takes readers from the marinas of Cabo San Lucas to the dangerous waters beyond, where old enemies meet, old secrets resurface, and the ocean refuses to surrender its dead. The sea kept his secret. Now it's bringing him home.
Dead men don't leave messages. A year after the events in Bimini, investigator Mara has done her best to move on from the case that defined her career. The serial killer known as "The Hook" was presumed lost at sea, and with no body ever recovered, the mystery was left for the ocean to keep. Then a package arrives. Inside is a single scrimshaw fishing hook, carved from bone-the unmistakable signature of the killer she spent years chasing. The message is clear. He's alive. Mara's investigation leads her thousands of miles from the Bahamas to the deep blue waters of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where luxury sportfishing charters, crowded marinas, and an endless flow of tourists provide the perfect place for someone to disappear. As unexplained vanishings begin to mount, Mara realizes the Hook hasn't simply survived. He's evolved. Working alongside local authorities, charter captains, and those who make their living on the water, Mara finds herself in a race against a killer who has learned from every mistake and who knows her almost as well as she knows him. But the hunt is no longer one-sided. The Hook has been watching Mara too. As the investigation closes in, the shores of Cabo become the stage for a deadly game of strategy where every move has consequences and every charter could be the last. With lives hanging in the balance, Mara must confront the possibility that catching her prey may require risking everything she has left. Because some killers don't fear the law. They fear being forgotten.
