A luxury yacht explodes in the waters near Seattle, killing everyone aboard and turning a quiet harbor into a crime scene. When investigator Declan Crowe and journalist Ivy Sinclair start pulling at the wreckage, they discover the victim was not the wealthy socialite everyone assumed. She was building a private case against an international smuggling ring, and someone made sure she never got to hand it over.



As Crowe and Sinclair follow a trail of falsified cargo manifests, offshore accounts, and men who would rather kill than be named, they realize the explosion was never meant to look like an accident to everyone. It was a message. And the people who sent it are watching to see who answers.



From the fog-bound piers of the Pacific Northwest to the hidden ledgers of a shipping empire built on lies, The Shattered Wake is a fast-moving thriller about the cost of chasing the truth when the people you're chasing have nothing left to lose.



My name is Tyler Grayson TG and I write fiction that blends mystery, psychological suspense, action, and thriller elements into immersive, character-driven adventures.



I've always been fascinated by the hidden stories behind abandoned places, forgotten legends, and the difficult choices ordinary people face when they're pushed into extraordinary situations. That curiosity inspires every novel I write.



My stories often feature investigators, explorers, journalists, park rangers, and everyday people who uncover long-buried secrets while navigating dangerous landscapes—from remote mountain ranges and dense forests to isolated coastal towns and forgotten wilderness.
