A new town, a new life, and a new home--with an absolutely chilling
lakefront view.
Two months a widow, Mallory Dent has made the impulsive decision to pack
up and move on. In remote McNamara, nestled in the northern mountains,
she can escape her grief, guilt, and pain. But the day Mallory arrives,
death follows her, lapping just outside her door. A woman's body is
found floating in Loss Lake--and it's not the first death on these
shores. Locals talk about a monster in the depths with an almost
disturbing reverence.
Sergeant Joel Benson understands Mallory's unease. Years ago, his own
brother was killed in the home Mallory now owns. But that was just a
tragic accident. Wasn't it? The more Mallory investigates, the more
fearful she becomes. Maybe there are monsters in McNamara. Maybe some
have followed her there.
As a winter storm bears down, the refuge Mallory sought has become a
trap. It's time to face her past, the secrets behind the town's friendly
faces, and a reckoning that will shatter the eerie, icy calm of Loss
Lake.
