Dead Low Tide

A fiercely independent lawyer, Dan Kardon has often visited friends Anne and Frank in the seaside village of Wettamessett, where they summer with their adopted son, Aaron. When Aaron, a teen with a passion for cycling, is unexpectedly killed, Dan goes to investigate. He returns to the last place the boy took him during one of their bike rides, the Houghton tire pile. Jean Houghton and her tough-talking sons have made a fortune with their business, one of the last family-owned enterprises in the depressed region. But soon Kardon discovers that the tire pile is a dumping ground for secrets too big to bury.
