The Fallen of Foulweather Bluff by D D Black

About the Book:

On Memorial Day,1992, three decorated Navy officers disappeared in the sleepy beach town of Hansville, Washington. Thirty years later, their medals were found in the marshlands of Foulweather Bluff. So were their bones.

For private investigator Thomas Austin, this case hits close to home. The son of a JAG lawyer, Austin grew up around the Navy. To solve the case, he must piece together clues buried in the marshlands, and dark secrets hidden in Navy history.

But when another investigator disappears, Austin realizes that the threat may not be in the past after all. In his most shocking, personal case yet, the darkness comes for Austin in a way it never has before. And the gut-wrenching final revelation leaves him questioning everything he's ever known, even his own past.

My Review:

This is another good mystery in the series set in the Pacific Northwest, on the shores of Puget Sound. Austin used to be a NYC policeman so he is not an amateur but sort of functions that way in these novels. This plot involves Navy personal and corrupt activities. It is a cold case but brought to light with recently found evidence. We see the Navy trying to take control over local police, perhaps trying to hide wrong doing. But the local police will not give up.

There is a good plot. We have good doses of suspense here and there. And we get to learn a little more about Austin's personal life. It is an entertaining mystery and I look forward to starting the next one.

You can read my reviews of earlier books in the series: The Bones at Point no Point and The Shadows of Pike Place.
