Attorney Mia Hale expects a routine consultation when a small island refugee foundation uncovers irregularities in its case files. Joined by artist and keen observer Jake Reyes, she follows a trail of forged identities, shell companies, and hidden safe houses that reveal a sophisticated international network exploiting vulnerable people. As federal authorities close in, Mia must balance the urgency of protecting those caught in the scheme with the patience required to dismantle a far-reaching conspiracy. Set against the stark beauty of the Atlantic coast, The Broken Shore is an atmospheric thriller about truth, justice, and the courage to look closely.
