Clancy Madsen is surrounded by death. Eight missing women, all brutally murdered in their cars, have been dumped along the Missouri River. Underwater salvage hunter Clancy Madsen searches the entire length of it, locating each victim, one by one. She helps drag the cars back from the deep, then helps the dead move on to find peace. Clancy’s own peace eludes her, but if she doesn’t search, how will anyone get closure to a loved one’s loss? Jude Patterson’s friend Mia is missing, but no one will listen to her. Except for Clancy. Jude is soon pulled headlong into Clancy’s strange world where the dead speak ill of the living and the Missouri River might be hiding more secrets than Clancy has already uncovered. Can Clancy and Jude crack the case—and the secrets of their own hearts?
