Book Three: A Cedar Shoals Thriller

About the Book
A storm exposes a thirty-year-old secret in the marsh. The report that once closed the case carries a signature Luke Garrison never expected to see. What appeared to be settled history becomes a question that can no longer be left in the file.
Signed, the third Cedar Shoals thriller by Mike Anthony, turns the series toward the relationship between a record and the truth it is supposed to preserve. A case can be marked closed without every question being answered. A familiar name on an official report can carry authority until new evidence makes that authority difficult to accept.
The premise draws its tension from time as well as trust. Thirty years separate the hidden secret from the storm that reveals it, yet the signature makes the old case immediately significant to Luke. The past has not become harmless simply because it has been out of sight.
For readers who enjoy mysteries built around buried evidence and uncomfortable questions, Signed offers another view of the series' coastal world. The marsh is not only a setting. It is the place where a long-hidden story returns, forcing attention back to what was recorded, what was overlooked, and whose account has endured.
An old case in the Cedar Shoals series
