The Neah Bay series by Owen Laukkanen is set on the remote Olympic Peninsula of Washington State. Deception Cove (2019) introduces Jess Winslow, recently released from prison, and Mason Burke, a former Marine struggling with PTSD, as they navigate danger in a small coastal town.

Lone Jack Trail (2020) continues their story deeper into the Pacific Northwest wilderness. The two-book series has a more atmospheric, character-driven feel than Laukkanen’s Stevens and Windermere thrillers, trading fast-paced procedural plotting for a slower burn set against rugged coastal landscapes.
