Dark Waters: A Thriller

By Scott P. Hicks

In the quiet, unassuming town of Lakehurst, Crescent Lake hides more than ripples and reflections-it conceals an ancient curse that has claimed countless souls. Kate Larkin, haunted by the mysterious drowning of her brother and driven by a desperate need for truth, returns to her hometown only to discover that the legends of Dunwich are more than mere folklore. When inexplicable disappearances, spectral warnings, and eerie symbols begin to manifest, Kate uncovers a dark conspiracy orchestrated by Richard Crowe-a man whose bloodline ties him to a long-forgotten cult and an unfinished, sinister ritual.

As the stakes escalate and the cursed water's malevolent memory stirs beneath the surface, a final confrontation looms at a crumbling bell tower. With the fate of an innocent child hanging in the balance and the future of the town at risk, Kate, alongside Sheriff Ethan Shaw, reclusive Marcus Hale, and determined Dr. Sofia Torres, must battle against forces both human and otherworldly. In a desperate race against time under a blood moon, every secret is laid bare, every sacrifice is counted, and every life is at stake.

Prepare for a relentless, gripping supernatural thriller where ancient curses and modern tragedy collide, and the only certainty is that the past never truly dies-it waits, quietly, for the next tide to rise.
