The lake always gives up its dead.
When the death of a local man is abruptly removed from the jurisdiction of the Lake Pines police and ruled accidental, Dr. Kerry Dearborn is left with more questions than answers. The decision comes without explanation, and before the investigation has barely begun. Convinced there is more to the man's death than officials are willing to acknowledge, Kerry continues her own discreet inquiry, concealing her actions from her husband, the town's Chief of Police.
At the same time, an old journal which was discovered beneath the floorboards of a long-forgotten home draws her into a second investigation. Determined to uncover its origins and identify the person who wrote it, Kerry shares her suspicions with only one person: her business partner, Dr. Sal Varanus.
But the deeper Kerry digs, the more troubling the discoveries become. Someone is determined to keep the past buried and the truth concealed. And the closer she gets to uncovering both, the greater the cost her secrets may be.
In Lake Pines, the truth has a way of fighting its way to the surface. But this time, will Kerry uncover it before her own life, career, and marriage are irreparably damaged?
