Midnight Murder

A woman in the river. A town with a terrible secret. A librarian who should have kept driving.

A mudslide forces Vera Callaghan off Route 91 and into Grantham Falls. One night, she tells herself. Gone before breakfast. Then a woman turns up dead in the river — one who spent her final days digging into the town's most powerful family. Vera reads people the way she reads books. She can't let it go.

Franklin Ware built his reputation on Grantham Falls. Laurel Price was about to tear it down. Detective Greer buried the truth in '87 and got orders to do it again. Franklin's wife Constance has kept his secrets for thirty-one years — until now.

The deeper Vera digs, the clearer it becomes: the river has kept secrets before. Then a threatening text arrives from someone who shouldn't have her number.

One night left. One chance. Before the truth disappears beneath the water.
