Overview
About this book
In Blackwater Haven, Jonah Redman sees what other people prefer not to see.
A sluice gate that is not seating properly. A tired sea wall holding the wrong kind of strain. New runoff pushed into old lines that were already too weak to carry it. On paper, each problem is manageable. On the ground, Jonah knows they are connected.
While officials soften reports, developers protect confidence, and every warning is trimmed down to something easier to live with, Jonah keeps walking the route, taking notes, and building the chain nobody wants to acknowledge. Then the weather turns, the tide leans in, and the town pays the price.
After the flood, Blackwater Haven wants answers. Better still, it wants someone to blame.
To prove what really happened, Jonah must trace a path through deferred maintenance, buried history, and the quiet compromises respectable people make before disaster arrives. Because the most dangerous thing in town is not the storm. It is the number of people who needed the truth to stay small.
