Inhaltsangabe

All three of us. Tide's right. Love you. That was the last message from Nico Sayre, the tech founder who promised no one would ever be out of reach again. He and his two oldest friends walked onto the most remote stretch of the California coast: a big-hearted developer who flies his own plane, and a doctor with a federal investigation closing in. None of them walked out. Within days, the Lost Coast is crawling with satellite trucks. A four-billion-dollar deal stalls. A true crime podcast turns the search into a national obsession. Everyone has a theory: a failed rescue device, a staged escape, poison, a cartel. Detective Sergeant Ruth Calder has pulled bodies out of this water before. She knows the tide was coming in when that message was sent, not going out. She knows three grown men don't go into the sea together unless they're holding on to each other. And when the bodies surface days and miles apart, she knows something else. They didn't die together. And only one of them was supposed to die at all. Then a man the whole country believes is dead leaves his daughter a forty-one-second voicemail. Somewhere inside that recording is the truth about what happened on the black rocks at Tallow Cove. But the closer Ruth gets, the more the case circles back to the people she trusts most, and to a secret the sea has been keeping for a long time. Only One Was Dead is a gripping, atmospheric psychological thriller about friendship, mercy, and the lies we tell to protect the people we love. It's perfect for readers who love twisty small-town mysteries, missing-person thrillers, and endings that stay with you long after the last page.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Veronica Chase writes psychological thrillers for readers who like their mysteries dark, intelligent, atmospheric, and impossible to put down. Veronica is fascinated by the hidden side of human behavior: the secrets people protect, the lies they tell themselves, and the moments when an ordinary life can fracture without warning. Her thrillers are built around one question: What if the truth is far more dangerous than the lie? When she isn't writing, Veronica can usually be found collecting strange real-world stories, exploring forgotten places, researching human psychology, or turning unsettling "what if?" questions into new stories. She believes the best thrillers shouldn't simply surprise you. They should stay with you.
