Welcome to Twin Coves

Step into the shoes of a newbie private investigator as they unravel the series of supernatural murders that shake their small seaside hometown.

Once upon a time, Morgan Cooper was a journalist chasing the next big story in the big city—until a story nearly got them killed.

In a desperate bid to save their life, they made a deal with a dangerous fae and fled to the safety of their hometown, Twin Coves, a small seaside village and the perfect spot to lay low and lick their wounds. 

However, death has followed them home. Seven months after their return, their friend and mentor, Gideon Clearwater, is found dead. Officially, it is ruled to be “natural causes”, but not everyone in town is so easily convinced.

When another death is discovered—one that bears an unsettling similarity to the murders Morgan was investigating back in the city—they begin to question how safe Twin Coves really is.

Confronted with the possibility the killer they tried to escape is now in Twin Coves, Morgan must make a choice: Stay in Twin Coves and uncover the truth behind the deaths—all of them—once and for all, or turn tail and run like they did before.

However, they don’t have to investigate alone. Familiar faces from their past arrive in Twin Coves, as well as some new mysterious visitors. And there are always the helpful (and handsome) locals.

But everyone has secrets in Twin Coves, even the person Morgan may be growing closest to…
