Beneath Still Waters – Paperback

Wren Calloway has hauled her father’s traps off Marrow Point, Maine, every third morning since April. On a day of thick fog she drags a bleeding stranger out of the water with a black waterproof bag strapped across his chest.

By noon the town has a dead man, a new harbormaster who handles a gunshot wound like he has done it before, and a county detective who wants to shake every hand in the harbor. Wren is the one person who noticed that nothing about the new harbormaster’s story adds up.

Eli Bannon is not what he says he is. He came to Marrow Point to watch a fishing co-op and the men who run it, and he has already lost one informant he was supposed to protect. The last thing he needs is a lobsterwoman with sharp eyes, a stubborn streak and a father’s boat she refuses to leave at the dock.

There is a ledger that does not match the water, a harbor where everyone is somebody’s cousin, and a killer who is closer than either of them thinks. Wren will not stop asking questions. Eli cannot stop watching her.

A brooding agent, an innocent fisherwoman and a town that would rather keep its secrets. Book 1 of No Safe Distance.
