About this ebook

A troubled teen uncovers a terrifying secret buried beneath a coastal mansion in this gothic horror from the beloved author of The Outsiders —"Hinton has written an adult novel that can awaken the rough-and-tumble child in anyone. Hinton's ability to engage hasn't faded" ( The New York Times ).

"Set in Delaware and spanning the decades from the 1950s to the '70s, Hawkes Harbor is an adventure tale with plenty of twists, turns and action." ― San Antonio Express-News

An orphan and a bastard, Jamie grew up tough enough to handle almost anything. Taking to the sea, he found danger and adventure in exotic ports all over the world. He's survived foreign prisons, smugglers, pirates, gunrunners, and even a shark attack. But what he discovers in the quiet seaside town of Hawkes Harbor, Delaware, is enough to almost drive him insane—and change his life forever . . .

"I gave myself to Hawkes Harbor from the very first page. I loved the mystery of it. Unfolding so deliberately. And then such horror, I wanted to echo Jaime's fevered plea: 'Don't let it be dark . . . Don't let it be dark!'" —R. L. Stine

"A dark, funny, scary, suspenseful tale that will entertain mainstream and adventure/horror readers alike." — Publishers Weekly

"Hinton offers a suspenseful, thought-provoking book, and the cross-genre plot makes for an entertaining read." ― The Oklahoman
