Murder Bay: A Ben Carey Mystery

No
one noticed anything suspicious about the death of a wounded soldier at
the height of the Civil War—not, that is, until almost a hundred years
later.

In 1957, young Washington, D.C., police sergeant Ben
Carey heads up a team of officers in a dilapidated house three blocks
from the Capitol. Though Carey’s career is on the rise, his marriage is
circling the drain, and as he spends more time at the office, he
discovers there is something not quite right about this decaying old
home. It harbors some dark secrets—connecting him to the long-dead
soldier and others in ways he can't understand. With his personal life
in shambles, and forces from within the house vying for his attention,
Carey casts reason aside and begins an investigation to uncover the
truth about what happened in this haunted place. As he peels back the
layers of history, he finds courage and love, but also deception, greed,
jealousy, and murder.

Twisting through time—between an America
torn by Civil War and the prosperous 1950s—Murder Bay is a mystery that
spans eras and the gulf dividing what can and cannot be explained.
