** Death On The Misty Pier **

*A Detective Michael Bennett Thriller - Chapter 9 & 10*

For 20 years, Graypoint looked like a quiet coastal town.

It wasn’t. It was rotting from the inside.

Detective Michael Bennett came home to bury his father.

Instead, he found a town built on lies, bodies in sealed basements, and a conspiracy that goes all the way to the badge.

When a package arrives with no sender and one brass key, Bennett pulls the thread.

What unravels is 150 years of corruption, $600 million in blood money, and a killer wearing the uniform.

As bodies pile up at the pier, the church, and the cannery, Bennett teams with FBI Agent Laura Jensen and Officer Sarah Collins to follow the keys:

**Brass. Iron. Silver. Gold.**

Each one opens a door. Each door reveals a deeper betrayal.

From the fog-covered lighthouse to the sealed vault beneath it, from crooked Sergeant Victor Hale to billionaire mastermind Elias Caldwell, Bennett has to decide:

How far will he go for justice... when the whole town is guilty?

**Trapped in a storm. Betrayed by mentors. Hunted in his own hometown.**

Bennett must break the Graypoint conspiracy before it buries him and everyone he loves.

**PRAISE FOR THE GRAYPOINT SERIES:**

"Edge-of-your-seat tension from page 1. I couldn’t put it down."

"Dark, twisty, and emotionally brutal. Bennett is the hero we need."

"The lighthouse reveal had me screaming. Best thriller of 2026."
