The Pogues are back in an original Outer Banks adventure packed with surfing, secrets, danger, and mystery.

Perfect for fans of Outer Banks, beach-set mysteries, action-packed adventures, and suspense-filled YA fiction, Dead Break delivers another thrilling original story featuring the beloved Pogues from the hit Netflix series.

Summer has arrived in the OBX, and Kildare Island is buzzing. A major surfing competition has brought pro surfers, tourists, and plenty of Kooks to town, while a powerful storm delivers some of the biggest waves the island has seen in years.

Kiara is ready to prove herself in the water. Pope is thrilled to begin an internship at the city morgue—a step toward his future career. And John B, JJ, and the rest of the Pogues are hoping for the perfect summer.

Then a professional surfer washes up dead on the beach.

Everyone assumes the accident was caused by the dangerous surf conditions. But the more Pope, Kiara, John B, and JJ investigate, the more convinced they become that something doesn't add up. As questions pile up and secrets begin to surface, the Pogues find themselves caught in a mystery that reaches far beyond the competition.

With rivalries heating up, relationships being tested, and danger lurking just beneath the surface, the friends must work together to uncover the truth before the next victim is claimed by the waves.

This original YA novel, based on the hit Netflix series Outer Banks, is written by the critically acclaimed author Jay Coles.
