Myrtle Beach Author Caleb Wygal Returns to the Grand Strand with ‘Coastal Vendetta’
Coastal Vendetta releases September 29, 2026.
Local Author, Caleb Wygal, was in the studio to talk about the upcoming release of his latest book!
On September 29, 2026, Wygal returns to that world with Coastal Vendetta, the highly anticipated tenth installment in the Myrtle Beach Mystery Series. He already has several events in the Grand Strand set up to promote the release, including a Book Launch event at the Legends Theater at Broadway at the Beach on September 26th where attendees will get advance copies of the book, enjoy a Q&A conducted by fellow author, Kelly Capriotti Burton, and a short performance by one of the Legends that will perform at that evening’s show.
The new novel takes Clark Thomas and his wife, Detective Gina Gomez, into one of their most personal and dangerous investigations yet. Set against the familiar backdrop of the Grand Strand, Coastal Vendetta explores long-buried secrets, old crimes, and a violent history connected to both Surfside Beach and Myrtle Beach.
For local readers, Coastal Vendetta offers another opportunity to see the places and communities they know woven into a mystery series that has become closely associated with the Grand Strand. While the series has found readers across the country, its foundation remains firmly planted along the South Carolina coast.
The Myrtle Beach Mystery Series has sold nearly 100,000 books since its debut in 2021, attracting readers who enjoy clean mysteries, coastal settings, traditional whodunits, and stories with a modern edge. Earlier books in the series have featured recognizable Grand Strand locations and businesses, giving local readers an additional connection to Clark Thomas’s adventures.
