Summary, etc.:

"Once a superstar investigative reporter, disgraced by misconduct, Conn returned to his Vermont hometown to put his life back together. Now, after ten years covering local news, he knows his community like nobody else. When he kicks a submerged object while swimming-something with the density and resilience of human flesh-he wonders if it's connected to an unsolved murder in a nearby town. Detective Marlene Selanski heads up the State Police investigation. She considers Conn a possible suspect, and when the case turns personal for him, she warns him against "vigilante research" that could interfere with her investigation. Defying Selanski, Conn and his fiancée, Celine Gabrielli, combine their talents-his decades of journalistic research, her PhD in psychology, and a wealth of knowledge about the traditional ways of Vermont's old villages-to seek answers on their own. Confronted with obsession, deception, and betrayal, they realize too late the dangers of amateur sleuthing: Murder disrupts lives in unexpected ways, sending out ripples and bringing long-hidden secrets to the surface"--Provided by publisher.
