A mystery in the making . The ocean was calling out to Hayden Ransford to escape the frenzy of the city. A mystery novelist, he often found seclusion at the Oregon coast to write. Most getaways were nothing out of the ordinary-a few days of solitude, a burst of words on the pages. Routine and uneventful. Accustomed to controlling characters and story-line in his novels, he soon realizes that he is not the master of his novel. This time he discovers himself as a main character drawn into a most intriguing mystery that began over thirty years ago. The ninety minute drive from Portland to the beach through a dark and stormy October afternoon sets the stage for the unknowing author.

A tidal attraction you will want to enter and explore. But beware-never turn your back on the Pacific Ocean.
