Description
When a body surfaces near the misty docks of Sweetgum Ridge, Jennifer Carter’s quiet morning at the Sweet Tea Stand is shattered. The victim is competitive fisherman Gary Miller, and the missing custom rod from his boat points to a dangerous secret hidden beneath the lake’s surface.
Rival anglers, decades-old feuds, and a trail of oily residue draw Jennifer deeper into the investigation. With Sheriff Michael Brooks stretched thin and tensions rising among the locals, she pieces together clues from a hidden journal, a rusted barrel, and an abandoned bait shop that reveal smuggling and blackmail at the heart of the crime.
As warnings escalate from a hook in her counter to spray paint on her truck, Jennifer teams with Gregory Hall to explore the lake’s old drainage system. Each discovery pulls her closer to the truth—and to a confrontation that tests her courage and the bonds she’s built in town.
In a chase across the water and a final stand at the Great Arch, justice closes in on those who would kill to protect their illicit gains. Yet even as the lake settles, Jennifer knows some mysteries linger just beneath the surface.
