In tiny Murphy’s Harbour, where Reid Bennett serves as the one‑man police force, questions and dead bodies tend to pile up all at once. The morning starts with Reid chasing off a gang of threatening teens with a baseball bat. Minutes later, Reid learns that a bank robber might be headed his way looking for vengeance. But the day does not really start rolling until Reid finds a dead woman in the trunk of a waterlogged car. What follows is a fast‑paced thriller involving rich lawyers, a questionable movie producer, and quite a few shifting identities. Everyone seems to be circling everyone else in a complicated orbit of sex and money. Can all these events be tied together?

When a rowboat floated in with a second bloodycorpse, new Chief of Rofee Reid Bennett realized his small town was knee-deep in big trouble. And since the rest of the police force consisted of Sam, a German Shepherd, and Murphy, a disabled World War II veteran, Bennett could be fatally in over his head as he tried to net a ship-to-shore killer."Here's your chance to feel sort of like Columbus discoveringmAmerica you get to discover Ted Wood; whose first novel,Dead in the Water, jams more than enough fast action into its pages to keep you racing forward to its climax."
