A quiet night. A dead body. A mystery no one wants solved.Alex McInnes thought midlife would be calmer. A small-town book editor turned reluctant amateur sleuth, she never expected to find a corpse under the willow tree along Wicotopi's peaceful riverwalk. But when the police brush her aside, she can't ignore the unanswered questions-or the strange pamphlet clutched in the dead man's hand.As Alex digs deeper, she crosses paths with Joe Brody, a gruff detective and old crush who's both a help and a heartache. Together, they uncover unsettling secrets, including whispers of a cult that will stop at nothing to keep their rituals hidden.Now Alex must decide: retreat to her quiet life, or risk everything to bring justice to the river's edge. Because in Wicotopi, truth flows slower than the river-and bodies don't always stay buried.For fans of small-town thrillers, strong female leads, and heart-pounding suspense with a hint of second-chance romance.
