The Rip

Crescent Cove: Where the Tide Brings Death

Gabe Mitchell once wore a badge with pride-until the night everything was ripped from him: his career, his marriage, and nearly his sanity. Now working as a private investigator and nursing an old bottle of whiskey, Gabe finds himself dragged back into the shadows of law enforcement when a series of brutal murders rocks the quiet coastal town of Crescent Cove.

The victims? Teenagers. The method? Slashed throats, hollow eyes. And the message? Always the same-"The Rip" scrawled in blood near the bodies.

But when the latest victim turns out to be one of his son Nick's closest friends, Gabe is forced to confront the nightmare head-on. Each death brings the killer closer to Nick-and the line between man and monster grows harder to see.

The deeper Gabe digs, the stranger things get: whispered legends of an ancient sea demon, occult symbols etched into driftwood, and eyes watching from the waves. The truth may not just threaten his son's life-but the soul of the town itself.

Now Gabe must uncover the darkness hiding beneath Crescent Cove before the tide rolls in again... and takes Nick with it.
