The Drowning Bay: A Small Town Thriller of Justice and Revenge (Blackbird)

A mysterious drowning. A town on the edge of destruction. The truth lies beneath the surface of the Drowning Bay.

When former environmental attorney Claire Morgan witnesses the apparent suicide of her enigmatic client Erica, she knows something is wrong. The small coastal town of Saint Novak is divided over a massive development project that promises economic salvation—but at what cost? As Claire reluctantly investigates property deals near what locals call “the Drowning Bay,” she finds herself drawn into a web of corruption, environmental sabotage, and murder that connects to the death of a local teenager the year before. With the help of Sheriff Jack Harrison, a man haunted by his own past, Claire follows a trail of evidence that leads to the last person she wants to face: her ex-husband Richard, the powerful attorney who orchestrated her professional downfall. As pressure mounts and threats multiply, Claire must decide how far she’ll go for justice—even if it means breaking the rules she once lived by.

The Drowning Bay is an atmospheric eco-thriller that combines legal suspense with small-town secrets. If you enjoy compelling mysteries with strong female protagonists, complex moral dilemmas, and a touch of slow-burn romance, then you’ll love this first installment in a riveting new series.
