1961, Philadelphia. After betraying his brother to save his own life, hitman Blake Saunders flees the mob and seeks refuge in a tiny coastal Australian town. Two years later, the ghosts of the past still haunt him, but otherwise Coral Shoals is paradise. Blake surfs and plays guitar in his own bar, the Surf Shack. But then the body of a young woman is found at a local motel, and evidence links her to the Surf Shack. When Blake's friend is arrested, and the local sergeant doesn't want to know, it becomes clear to Blake -who knows a thing or two about murder - that the only way to protect his paradise is to find the killer.
A pitch-perfect crime novel, River of Salt captures the spirit of the surf music scene with a thrilling twist.
