New York City, New York Mar 1, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Crime fiction readers continue to discover the explosive novels of Jed Powers Dan Marlowe/Hampton Beach mystery/crime series which begins with The Boss of Hampton Beach, a fast paced coastal thriller that blends small town atmosphere with high stakes criminal intrigue. Set against the vivid backdrop of Hampton Beach, New Hampshire, Power delivers a hard edged story of addiction, ambition, and the dangerous pull of easy money.
At the center of the novel is Dan Marlowe, a man fighting to reclaim his life. Once the owner of The High Tide Restaurant and Saloon, Dan lost nearly everything to cocaine, including his family and his business. Now tending bar at the very establishment he once owned, he is determined to stay clean and rebuild what remains of his fractured world. His fragile stability is shattered when a boat carrying two dead bodies crashes into the Hampton Beach jetty, igniting rumors of a missing shipment of 200 pounds of cocaine.
Power populates the narrative with a volatile cast of characters operating on both sides of the law. A calculating Boston mob boss and his loyal enforcer enter the fray, along with a New Hampshire seacoast drug dealer who doubles as an informant, his glamorous girlfriend, and his less than brilliant muscle. A corrupt D.E.A. agent and his addicted associate complicate matters further, as do two New Hampshire State policemen and an Irish handyman whose loyalties remain uncertain. The result is a violent and unpredictable race fueled by greed, desperation, and shifting alliances.
What distinguishes The Boss of Hampton Beach is its balance of relentless action and emotional depth. Beneath the gunfire and betrayals lies the story of a man wrestling with addiction and the temptation to sacrifice integrity for survival. Power captures the tension of a beach community where summer tourism masks darker undercurrents, and where the promise of a quick fortune can lead to irreversible consequences.
Jed Power brings authenticity and sharp pacing to the series, grounding his crime narrative in the recognizable rhythms of coastal New England life. As the first installment in the Dan Marlowe/Hampton Beach mystery series, the novel establishes a compelling protagonist whose personal struggles are as gripping as the criminal plots that surround him. Power has already penned eight more Novels in this compelling series And Coming soon will be number nine, Saving Hampton Beach, which is slated not only to be the ninth book in the series but also a standalone Crime Thriller, and hopefully, with the massive planned publicity push and book launch hitting the best seller lists and then film and TV streaming adaptations.
