Hard Aground eBook

With echoes of Rear Window, award-winning Brendan DuBois’ new thriller finds defense analyst Lewis Cole trapped and under siege in his beachfront home.

In his eleventh outing, Lewis Cole—former Department of Defense research analyst—is "hard aground" at his beachfront home, recovering from major surgery.

Alone at night, he’s convinced he’s hearing someone breaking into his home, and during the day, he’s harassed by genealogy researchers. Then a local gang involved in the highly lucrative and dangerous heroin business brutally make their appearance known.

The unexplained murder of a local antiques dealer and historian then kicks off a long, bloody trail of old history and feuds, bringing Lewis and his historical home right into the center of the violent opioid epidemic, where no one is safe—and no one will be spared.
