The Stolen Coast by Dwyer Murphy
Adrift in a sleepy coastal Massachusetts town, a man who ferries fugitives by day gets twisted up in a plot to pilfer diamonds in a heist novel that infuses Elmore Leonard and Casablanca. Jack might be a polished, Harvard-educated lawyer on paper, but everyone in the down-at-the-heels, if picturesque, village of Onset, Massachusetts, knows his real job: moving around people on the run from powerful enemies. Except for the occasional fumble, the family business—co-managed with his father, a retired spy—is smooth sailing, filling up Onset’s holiday homes during the town’s long, drowsy off-season. But when Elena, Jack’s enigmatic former flame—and former client-fugitive—makes an unexpected return to town, wealthy fiancé in tow, her arrival upends Jack’s routine existence. Elena, after all, doesn’t go anywhere without a scheme in mind, and it isn’t long before Jack finds himself enmeshed in her latest hustle: intercepting millions of dollars’ worth of raw diamonds before they’re shipped overseas. With sharp wit and stylish prose, CrimeReads editor in chief Dwyer Murphy serves up an irresistible page-turner as full of heart as it is of drama.'With rich, complicated characters, a serpentine plot, and atmosphere to burn, this is neo-noir at its elegiac best’ — Megan Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of The Turnout
'A terrific, atmospheric crime novel by a writer with a deep love and appreciation of the form' — Ace Atkins, New York Times bestselling author of Robert BParker’s Bye Bye Baby and The Heathens
‘Witty and lyrical and tough’ — Peter Swanson, New York Times bestselling author of Eight Perfect Murders
'Murphy proves that genre readers really can have it all: terrific characterization, an intricate plot, and stylish writing to boot'
