Shadows of the Sounds - Book Two: The Burning Bay
Absolutely. For the Amazon KDP description, I'd use something along these lines:
Book DescriptionThe Marlborough Sounds are beautiful enough to hide almost anything.
When a woman's body is recovered from the water near Havelock, Senior Constable Jim Storey expects a difficult investigation. What he doesn't expect is for the trail to lead back more than twenty years, to the disappearance of a young girl named Emily Fleming, and to people who have spent decades making sure the truth stays buried.
Then twelve year old Sophie Marsh disappears.
A photograph proves Sophie is alive, but the message accompanying it leaves Jim and Mia with an impossible choice: stop asking questions about Emily, or risk another child becoming part of the Sounds' history.
As old loyalties fracture and long held secrets surface, the investigation closes in on Graham Pike, a man whose influence reaches further into the past than anyone realised. But the darkest truth is not simply who was responsible. It is what happened on the water all those years ago, who could have stopped it, and why so many people chose silence instead.
Set against the isolated bays, hidden tracks and unforgiving waters of New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, Book Two of the Shadows of the Sounds series is an atmospheric crime mystery about guilt, courage, family and the terrible cost of protecting a lie.
Because some secrets are buried.
Others are simply waiting for someone to start asking the right questions.
