The Covenant Killer
(2027)(The fifth book in the Carver & Sandling FBI Mystery series)
A novel by Stewart Clyde
Coming Fall/Autumn 2026. Pre-order now.
First, the FBI took his badge. Then, someone murdered his oldest friend.
Augustine Carver has lost everything—his team, his badge, and his marriage. When retired NYPD detective Freddie DeLuca—the man who once partnered him through the worst years of his life is found dead on a remote island in the Outer Banks, Carver makes the drive to bury him.
And starts asking questions.
On Hatteras Island, people have been disappearing for decades.
The locals blame the sea. The stories blame the Ferryman—a killer no one has ever seen, passed down like folklore from one generation to the next. The sheriff wants Carver on the next ferry home.
But Carver knows a cover story when he hears one. The same families have run this island for two hundred years. The same names are on every deed, every board, every gravestone. And every one of them knows something about the night his friend died.
Some islands don't let you leave.
No badge. No backup. No jurisdiction. Just a man who has nothing left to lose—on an island full of people who have everything to hide.
"A master of the psychological narrative." - ★★★★★
"Criminal Minds meets The Silence of the Lambs — you won't put it down." - ★★★★★
Dark, atmospheric crime fiction for fans of Kay Scarpetta, Harry Bosch, Alex Cross and anyone who thought The Silence of the Lambs needed more confession and less redemption.
