Sean Colbeth Investigates Outsider

This isn't what success is supposed to look like.Sean Colbeth should know; as one of the most accomplished investigators in the State of Maine, the Police Chief of Windeport is used to the quiet accolades that come with a job well done. But solving the first major crime the village has seen in decades brought with it unexpected fallout: not only did he fracture relationships with just about everyone he held dear, the abrupt departure of his best friend is an open wound that refuses to heal.And when Vasily Korsokovach's absence directly contributes to the death of an elderly resident, Sean realizes his career is on the line once the Village Council puts him on administrative leave pending a full review of his department. More than aware it would be prudent to lay low - and not having anything else to do for a bit, anyway - Sean decides a change of scene is in order and heads to California to consult on a case in what he assumes will be two weeks of relatively easy work. A welcome chance to rest, recharge and reflect on his future as a cop.Except it's anything but.Unexpectedly reunited under less-than-ideal circumstances with his old partner, the duo quickly discover passions can be as unpredictable as the Santa Ana winds. And as they delve ever deeper into the shocking death of a star high school athlete and the picture-postcard-perfect town he lived in, Sean realizes murder is still murder - no matter the coast.
