*CLARK COUNTY FILES* Book 1: The Vanishing Dock
Description
When a fishing boat autonomously docks at Vancouver’s Pier 3 with its engine idling and nets half-deployed, the scene suggests a routine day interrupted by the impossible. The crew has vanished without a trace, leaving behind a chilling 'mid-task' environment that defies simple explanation. Investigator Ethan Cross and his associate Mason Vale are drawn into the enigma, quickly realizing the vessel didn't simply drift ashore; it was navigated with surgical precision. Analysis of the ship's GPS reveals a cryptic seventeen-minute stop in the middle of the Columbia River, followed by a deliberate, straight path back to the harbor. With strange markings on the console and no signs of a struggle, Ethan suspects a sophisticated conspiracy. As they peel back the layers of this ghost ship’s journey, they must uncover what happened during those missing minutes and identify the entity that steered the vessel home. This gripping mystery combines meticulous forensic investigation with atmospheric tension, offering a modern take on maritime hauntings. Comparable works include The X-Files
