"This tale... will keep you riveted to every word, every page as Maggie Thom weaves a brilliant cloth of the many colors of deceit." Dii (Tome Tender) Some secrets are worth killing for. Fired from her job as a reporter, Sam Overton retreats to her family's abandoned lake cabin-the last place she saw her father alive over twenty years ago. She's been told he'd committed suicide, but the memories that surface don't add up.
And the heavily guarded compound that's appeared at the north end of the lake? That's raising even more questions. Keegan Wesley arrives at his late grandfather's cabin with his own mission: to uncover the truth about a death that was ruled natural but feels anything but. When he discovers that all four original cabin owners have died under suspicious circumstances, he knows he's onto something dangerous.
Thrown together by circumstance and a shared need for answers, Sam and Keegan stumble into a deadly conspiracy that's been hidden in plain sight for decades. Bodies are buried beside the lake's serene surface. A criminal empire operates from its shores. And the man behind it all has already killed to protect his secrets-and won't hesitate to kill again. With armed men closing in and no one to trust, Sam and Keegan must expose the truth before they become the next victims.
But in a town where corruption runs deep and the guilty wear respectable faces, proof might cost them everything-including their lives. Tainted Waters, Book 1 The Overton Files, is a pulse-pounding suspense thriller where small-town secrets hide big-city crimes, and the past refuses to stay buried. ".The plot's seamless, twisting turns and the tension-building exploits kept me flipping the pages." Author Jeanne Marie ".I LOVED this book! It was fast paced and had me gripped from the start ...
And talk about twists! Just when I thought I knew where this story was leading. Bang!. Plot twist!..." Nicola - Orchard Book Club ".Exciting story, loved the beginning introduction to Sam. She is a firecracker..." Musings from an Addicted Book Reader
