Drowned Names
A dead woman is found beside the San Antonio River.
Her hands are tied with river cane. Her lungs are dry. Beneath her tongue, someone has carved a symbol-and the number one.
Detective Marisol Reyes has spent fifteen years refusing to listen to the dead.
She learned young that some voices should never be answered. In 1999, when she was seven, her nine-year-old brother disappeared beneath the San Antonio River. She survived. He didn't. And ever since, she has built her life around one rule:
Don't answer the dead.
But the river has started counting again.
As another body appears, Mari is drawn into a mystery that reaches from a centuries-old secret beneath the city to a strange ledger that seems to know the names of the dead before they die. Historian Amara Cole discovers that her own family is written inside its pages. Medical examiner Jay Park finds evidence that turns an impossible death into something far more frightening than murder.
And someone-or something-is keeping the count.
With the Day of the Dead procession approaching, Mari must confront the river, the ghosts it has kept, and the truth about the brother she never stopped looking for.
Because this time, the dead aren't asking to be remembered.
They're asking to be heard.
Drowned Names is Book One of The Registrar's Trilogy-a supernatural crime thriller of murder, ghosts, family secrets, and the things a city refuses to bury.
