Books like The harbor by Carla Neggers
Zoe West left her hometown of Goose Harbor, Maine, after her father’s murder and the crushing disappointment of her FBI aspirations. A new job and a new city offered no solace, and she keeps the trauma of her past in her mind.
At the same time, special agent J.B. McGrath, weary from undercover work, claims to be on vacation but intends to investigate the town’s unsolved killings. When Zoe returns, she finds that the killer may be closer than she imagined—and J.B.’s presence raises questions of trust and attraction.
As the danger escalates, their barely‑formed partnership is pushed to its limits. Every misstep threatens the lives and futures of those who once planned to stay on the edge of safety, and the town’s secrets threaten to destroy them all.
