All three of us. Tide's right. Love you.
That was the last message from Nico Sayre, the tech founder who promised no one would ever be out of reach again. He and his two oldest friends walked onto the most remote stretch of the California coast: a big-hearted developer who flies his own plane, and a doctor with a federal investigation closing in.
None of them walked out.
Within days, the Lost Coast is crawling with satellite trucks. A four-billion-dollar deal stalls. A true crime podcast turns the search into a national obsession. Everyone has a theory: a failed rescue device, a staged escape, poison, a cartel.
Detective Sergeant Ruth Calder has pulled bodies out of this water before. She knows the tide was coming in when that message was sent, not going out. She knows three grown men don't go into the sea together unless they're holding on to each other. And when the bodies surface days and miles apart, she knows something else.
They didn't die together.
And only one of them was supposed to die at all.
Then a man the whole country believes is dead leaves his daughter a forty-one-second voicemail. Somewhere inside that recording is the truth about what happened on the black rocks at Tallow Cove. But the closer Ruth gets, the more the case circles back to the people she trusts most, and to a secret the sea has been keeping for a long time.
Only One Was Dead is a gripping, atmospheric psychological thriller about friendship, mercy, and the lies we tell to protect the people we love. It's perfect for readers who love twisty small-town mysteries, missing-person thrillers, and endings that stay with you long after the last page.

About the Author
Veronica Chase writes psychological thrillers for readers who like their mysteries dark, intelligent, atmospheric, and impossible to put down.
Veronica is fascinated by the hidden side of human behavior: the secrets people protect, the lies they tell themselves, and the moments when an ordinary life can fracture without warning.
Her thrillers are built around one question:
What if the truth is far more dangerous than the lie?
When she isn't writing, Veronica can usually be found collecting strange real-world stories, exploring forgotten places, researching human psychology, or turning unsettling "what if?" questions into new stories.
She believes the best thrillers shouldn't simply surprise you.
They should stay with you.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
