A Lonely Journey's End

In the sun-soaked summer of 2005, a brutal murder shatters the tranquility of Oceanic Park, unravelling secrets that could alter the tourist town forever.

When a migrant worker is found dead, attorney Ned Johnston is drawn into a web of intrigue that reveals a conspiracy far more dangerous than he ever imagined. With tensions already on the rise in the community, fueled by a City Council ordinance threatening the freewheeling carnival spirit of the boardwalk, Ned realizes that this murder is just the tip of the iceberg—a result of deeper societal and political issues that could tear the small town apart.

As local anti-immigrant vigilantes stir unrest and a sensationalistic talk-show host fans the flames of hatred, Ned uncovers a sinister political conspiracy that stretches far beyond the town's borders. With the return of enigmatic investigator, Sophia Ambrosetti, who seems to have her own agenda, Ned must confront his past while piecing together the clues that could lead him to the killer.

With Oceanic Park divided and time running out, can Ned uncover the identity of the killer and expose an insidious plot, or will he find himself ensnared in a deadly conspiracy that threatens to consume the town he loves?

Reviews:

“…A Lonely Journey’s End: An Oceanic Park Mystery is a must-read thriller you won’t be able to put down.  The twists and turns in the narrative, the socially relevant themes which play on in our own society, and the shocking cliffhanger finale will keep readers hanging onto the very edge of their seat.”  Pacific Book Review

“The highlight of Cabin’s novel is the depiction of Oceanic Park as a place that feels real and lived in. The story also successfully captures the tumultuous post-9/11 politics of the George W. Bush era.”  Kirkus Reviews
