The Blood-Stained Bay

Description

It's a very John Jordan Christmas. When young mother-to-be Emma Oliver vanishes on Christmas Eve, her disappearance sends shockwaves through the quiet town of Pottersville, Florida. Sweet, beautiful, seemingly adored by all, Emma’s sudden disappearance raises more questions than answers. At the center of the storm is her seeming unaffected husband, Brady Oliver, whose refusal to make public pleas for her safe return quickly turns suspicion on him. Soon his composed exterior begins to crack. Why did he abruptly change his alibi? Why was his boat spotted near the desolate shores of St. Amaro Bay the day Emma vanished? When an unexpected storm washes a grim discovery ashore, the town's fragile veneer shatters. The evidence points strongly toward one conclusion—but John has to be sure, and he can't shake the feeling that something isn't adding up. With public opinion turning into a trial by fire and the media turning the case into a circus, John races against time to uncover the truth. As John peels back the layers of betrayal, obsession, and desperation, he faces a chilling question: Can he untangle the lies before another life is lost? With its heart-pounding twists and haunting depiction of love turned toxic, The Blood-Stained Bay is a riveting tale of betrayal and the dangerous secrets hidden in plain sight.
