Still Water: A Detective Devin Thriller

By Ann Mouse

STILL WATER

In Heartland Lake, the water always looks calm. It's what's underneath that'll kill you.

She walks into Detective Devin Cole's office with a perfect story, perfect documents, and eyes that never move when she talks.

Her name is Claire Masson. Her business partner has been stealing from her for two years. She has proof, she has numbers, and she has exactly the kind of composure that sets off every instinct Devin has spent twelve years sharpening.

Because Claire Masson doesn't exist.

What does exist: a missing man named Gerald Finch who has vanished to Europe with six hundred thousand dollars that didn't belong to him. A small town police chief who has been quietly protecting a criminal network for four years. And a cold case from Devin's Chicago files - a man he ruled a heart attack in 2019 - that is starting to look like something much darker.

The woman on his dock isn't a con artist. She's Special Agent Vera Callan, FBI, and she chose Devin Cole specifically because he's the one detective she was certain couldn't be bought.

She was right about that. What she didn't calculate was everything else.

Still Water is the second book in the Detective Devin series - a taut, layered crime thriller about the cases that follow you home, the truths you file too soon, and the people who make you want to look more carefully at everything.
