Beneath Blackwater: Every town has secrets. Blackwater has bodies.

By Michael Monroe

Eighteen years ago, Lily Whitmore vanished beside Blackwater Lake.

The town buried the story. The lake buried the truth.

When investigative podcaster Evelyn Hart returns to Blackwater after the murder of journalist Clara Bennett, she finds a community terrified of its own past. Old missing-persons cases begin resurfacing. Witnesses refuse to talk. And every path Evelyn follows seems to lead back to one terrible night everyone wants forgotten.

Especially her.

As suspicion falls on troubled local Noah Hart, Evelyn uncovers hidden tunnels beneath the lake, evidence of decades-old crimes, and a conspiracy stretching deeper than a single murder. But the closer she gets to the truth, the more fractured her own memories become.

Because Blackwater is hiding more than one killer.

And Evelyn may not be as innocent as she believes.

Beneath Blackwater is a haunting psychological suspense novel filled with buried secrets, emotional twists, and an ending that will leave readers questioning everything they thought they knew.
