The Blackwater Inn
By Ray Smith
In a fog-drenched coastal town with a storied maritime past, a reclusive former naval detective is pulled into a chilling murder investigation. The body of a fisherman is discovered near the shadowy Blackwater Inn, an aging pub steeped in secrets. As the detective delves deeper, he unearths a web of smuggling, betrayal, and buried wartime truths tied to the region’s shipbuilding legacy. Forced to seek the help of local families whose ancestors were master shipwrights, he uncovers clues hidden in the craftsmanship of ancient vessels and in the town’s whispered lore.
With its haunting landscape and themes of isolation, legacy, and moral ambiguity, The Blackwater Inn blends classic noir storytelling with a fresh, atmospheric twist, exploring how the sins of the past cast long shadows over the present.
