Discover the crime series readers love for its complex characters; gripping, twisty plots; and moody PNW setting. If you love D.D. Black, you'll devour the "On the Sound" series.

Can a teacher catch a killer?

An explosion rips through the heart of a small coastal city and kills a beloved school principal, a man who was both mentor and friend to teacher MJ Brooks. Driven by guilt and grief, MJ throws herself into the investigation, recklessly ignoring the danger she brings on herself.

Enter Detective Jefferson Hughes: a by-the-book investigator who'd rather eat his badge than work with a civilian. But when MJ unearths the only lead in a case that's got the city on edge, Hughes finds himself trapped between protocol and progress.

Set on the stunning and moody Puget Sound, the plot twists as the unlikely duo delves deeper into the mystery. Tension sizzles -- and not just from the looming threat. MJ's fierce determination clashes with Hughes' steely resolve, creating a chemistry they'd both rather ignore. But with a killer plotting to bring more pain and death to the sound, they'll need each other to unravel the lies.

In a race against time, MJ and Hughes must learn to trust each other's instincts. Because in West Sound, secrets kill -- and the next target could be closer and more devastating than they could imagine.
