Welcome back to Grand Bank, where community is everything—and nothing stays hidden for long.
As Winston Windflower and his RCMP colleagues gather in Marystown, Newfoundland, to celebrate promotions and milestones, trouble is brewing far beyond the banquet hall. A sophisticated heist operation—led by international mobsters and local biker gangs—is sweeping through the province, hitting banks and businesses in a coordinated crime spree that leaves more than just empty vaults behind.
In Book 16 of the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series, bestselling author Mike Martin returns readers to the beloved, fog-kissed coast of Newfoundland and Labrador, where the bonds of family, friendship, and community are as strong as ever. But even in the coziest corners of Grand Bank, danger can creep in like the tide.
Whether you're a longtime fan or meeting Sgt. Windflower for the first time, you’ll be swept up in a mystery rich with charm, warmth, por’ cakes, movie nights, and the unmistakable magic of a lighthouse that’s long overdue for a facelift.
Advance Praise
"Mike Martin’s Friends Are Forever, the sixteenth installment in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series, expertly weaves together small-town charm with high-stakes intrigue. Set in the picturesque backdrop of Newfoundland and Labrador, the story follows Sgt. Winston Windflower, as he navigates not just a celebration of RCMP promotions, but also the aftermath of a sophisticated heist involving international mobsters and local biker gangs.
Martin’s talent for storytelling shines as he blends heart-pounding mystery with the warm and relatable dynamics of a close-knit community. The vivid cultural and geographical details transport readers to Marystown, where por’ cakes, lighthouses, and family gatherings are as much a part of the tale as the unfolding crime.
While the stakes are high, Friends Are Forever is a story of resilience, camaraderie, and the enduring power of human connection. Both longtime fans of Sgt. Windflower and new readers alike will find themselves captivated by this compelling blend of small-town life and crime-solving adventure. With its unique setting and heartfelt storytelling, Martin’s latest is a must-read for cozy mystery enthusiasts.
