Set against the tranquil backdrop of coastal Massachusetts, 'The Stolen Coast' spins a gripping tale of deception, heist, and old flames rekindling under the guise of a sleepy town's off-season charm. Jack, a Harvard-educated lawyer by qualification, has a darker profession in Onset, Massachusetts—ferrying fugitives to their new lives. As the son of a retired spy, the family trade of identity-shifting is second nature to him. But tranquility shatters with the reemergence of Elena, Jack's ex-lover and a sharp hustler. Drawn into her elaborate diamond heist, Jack navigates a treacherous path laden with double-crosses, where every move could be a checkmate. Dwyer Murphy crafts a stylish narrative with 'Casablanca'-esque vibes—a testament to his wit and eloquence as CrimeReads' editor-in-chief—to deliver an engrossing novel that's as heartfelt as it is dramatic.
