No Safe Harbor: A crime novel

By Ned Hickson

When two patrolmen shoot and kill a woman in the shadows of Seattle's industrial district, the question isn't who did it but why? It's a question that private investigator Shane McPhearson unwittingly begins to unravel after discovering an abandoned 8-year-old named Jacob in Lincoln Park. What begins as a simple attempt to find Jacob's guardian reveals a wide-spread web of lies, cover-ups and deception woven throughout Seattle's Eighth Precinct with ties to organized crime -- and Jacob knowing the secret that threatens them all. Not knowing who to trust or where to turn in order to keep Jacob safe, Shane takes it upon himself to find out and, in the process, joins him in becoming a moving target with no time to waste and no safe harbor. Set in the late 1990s, No Safe Harbor explores the residual effects of abandonment as Shane and Jacob's dangerous journey runs parallel to their own individual childhood traumas. Together, they heal the emotional wounds of the past as they race to find the truth that will save them from the threat posed by those seeking to hide it. No Safe Harbor is a fast-paced, suspenseful thriller, and the first in an ongoing series featuring Seattle private investigator Shane McPhearson.
