NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The salt-stained truth behind the American dream washes ashore in this propulsive literary thriller set right here in Maine. When high school teacher Andrew stumbles upon crime scene photos at a lacrosse reception in Damariscotta, the carefully constructed facade of the Thatch family—local lobstermen turned coastal elite—begins to crack wide open.
This is small-town Maine at its most mesmerizing: oyster-rich waters, antique shops, and secrets buried deep as winter ice. Adam White has crafted a story that feels as familiar as the rocky coast and as shocking as a nor’easter you never saw coming. Watch as Andrew pieces together how his old classmates Ed and Steph rose from working-class roots to send their daughter to Amherst—and what dark machinery powered that remarkable ascent.
The New York Times calls it “propulsive…an absorbing look at small-town Maine,” while David Benioff (co-creator of Game of Thrones) confesses: “I tore through the saga of the Thatch family in two nights.” Named a Finalist for the New England Society Book Award and a CrimeReads Best Book of the Year, this is the kind of novel that keeps you turning pages long past bedtime.
Perfect for readers who crave literary fiction with a sharp edge—where privilege, ambition, and loyalty collide against a backdrop as beautiful and unforgiving as the midcoast itself.
