Michael Reo has witnessed a murder, but has no intention of going to the police. It would be too difficult to explain how, mesmerised, he watched a couple making love beside a pond one idyllic afternoon, saw them both take a boat out onto the water, but only one return.
Galen Miller is an arrogant young rebel from the wrong side of the tracks. A loser with his eye on the main chance, he is desperate to preserve his stake in the family farm, suddenly worth a fortune.
Detective Eddy Evans has an agenda of his own. He is trying to solve the mystery of who did what to whom - and why - while trying to win the affections of the one person who seems to have all the answers: Miller's some-time girlfriend. Only she's not talking . . .
A cop, a killer, and a not-so-innocent witness each lend their distinct, compelling voice to this sophisticated, amoral roller-coaster of a thriller.
