Ocean Drive

Ocean Drive

Paroled killer Cameron Shaw and small-town cop Staff Sgt. Meghan Quick find themselves on a collision course when the murder-by-arson of a college student sparks off gang violence along the forty-ninth parallel.

In his masterful new crime novel, award-winning author Sam Wiebe juxtaposes small town life with multinational criminal operations.

With the threat of a gang war looming, and long-buried secrets coming to light, Ocean Drive is a riveting exploration of the shadows cast by development and the harrowing choices individuals make when faced with the allure of easy money.
