Blood on the Docks: Secrets of the Waterfront

The tide comes in. The blood doesn’t wash away.
Blood on the Docks is a gritty detective story set along a fog-choked waterfront where crime hides in plain sight. When a body is found beneath the docks at dawn, the case looks simple—until the evidence points in too many directions, and none of them clean.
A hardened detective steps into a world of smugglers, dockworkers, corrupt officials, and deals sealed in silence. Everyone saw something. No one is telling the truth. And the docks remember more than the people who work them.
As the investigation drags deeper into the city’s underbelly, the detective uncovers a network of crimes tied together by money, fear, and a murder meant to send a message. The closer the truth comes to the surface, the more dangerous the water gets.
Dark, atmospheric, and sharply paced, Blood on the Docks is perfect for readers who love hard-boiled detective fiction, morally gray characters, and mysteries steeped in grit and realism.
Some crimes sink.
This one keeps floating back to shore.
