One PI. Two murders. Secrets that run deeper than the river.
As private investigator Fen Maguire rushes to finish a riverside sketch before the next downpour, he spots something caught in the massive cypress roots below-a human body. The former sheriff's instincts kick in immediately; twenty years in law enforcement won't let him just walk away.
When a bullet wound is discovered, what appears to be a tragic drowning becomes something far more sinister. With rain threatening the crime scene, Fen helps process the evidence-and uncovers a second victim: the daughter of a powerful county commissioner.
Even with a suspect in custody, Fen's gut tells him this case is far from closed. When he's quietly asked to investigate, he unearths a web of secrets as dark and twisted as the Medina's murky depths. With an angry father demanding vengeance and the real killer still free, Fen must navigate deadly deception to expose a murderer who's betting the Medina will cover the truth forever.
