Publisher Description
"Carter's writing is on target." - Publishers Weekly
A curmudgeon. An iconoclast. A loner. That's how people describe Garrison Gage, and that's when they're being charitable.
After his wife's brutal murder in New York, and Gage himself is beaten nearly to death, the crippled private investigator retreats three thousand miles to the quaint coastal town of Barnacle Bluffs, Oregon. He spends the next five years in a convalescent stupor, content to bide his time filling out crossword puzzles and trying to forget that his wife's death is his fault. But all that changes when he discovers the body of a young woman washed up on the beach, and his conscience draws him back into his old occupation - forcing him to confront the demons of his own guilt before he can hope to solve the girl's murder.

Customer Reviews
The gray and guilty sea
A pretty good book I read the whole thing and I would call it about a 56 out of 10
Good story
It was a good story, thought the main characters were predictable as was the ending.
Fun
Garrison Gage is an interesting character. A certain amount of disbelief suspension is necessary, but not enough to lessen the enjoyment of the novel.
