The Silence of Seabrook - Eric Brown

In the quiet coastal town of Seabrook, nothing ever really disappears.

It just... sinks beneath the surface.

When harbor worker Josh Hoggins vanishes without a trace, most of the town is quick to settle on the easy answer: another drunken mistake, another man lost to the unforgiving Pacific. But Jonah Harris isn't convinced.

Something about the story feels too clean.

As whispers spread and suspicion drifts through the marina like morning fog, Jonah and Detective Hale begin pulling at the loose threads others are eager to ignore. A late-night boat leaving in secret. An argument that doesn't quite add up. A town full of people who know more than they're saying.

And the deeper they dig, the clearer one truth becomes:

Seabrook isn't as quiet as it pretends to be.

Because some secrets don't disappear...

They wait.

The Silence of Seabrook is a slow-burning YA mystery layered with tension, atmosphere, and the uneasy feeling that the truth is always just out of reach...until it isn't.
