The Blue Wave

PEI-based author M. G. Field’s new novel, The Blue Wave, was released by Artemesia Publishing on March 24. Set in the turbulent times of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, this political thriller mines the conflict and corruption in the red state of Louisiana.

Detective “Tibby” Thibodaux is dispatched to Cajun country to question Joseph Morrigan, a suspect in a hit-and-run in New Orleans. Although Morrigan’s car is undamaged and he has a solid alibi, Tibby senses something untoward. 

The hit-and-run remains unsolved, and Morrigan is almost forgotten until the FBI asks Tibby to investigate him as a possible right-wing extremist. Morrigan, however, has disappeared, and Tibby must delve into his past to find Morrigan’s motivations. The more Tibby digs, the more it looks like Morrigan might be planning something, but each new revelation brings Tibby closer to a deadly confrontation with Morrigan.

Originally from Toronto, Field now lives on PEI.
