DARK CURRENT Book Three in the Detective Devin Series
Some things stay buried. Some things don't.
For thirty-one years, Earl Pruitt dropped his fishing line into the Shelf - the sixty-two foot drop at the center of Heartland Lake - and never found anything but fish.
Then he bought a new sonar unit.
What comes up from the bottom isn't just a body. It's a waterproof case, a handwritten letter, and a photograph of four people at a restaurant table - people who trusted each other completely, twenty years ago, before one of them ended up at sixty-two feet.
Detective Devin Cole recognizes two faces in the photograph from federal case files. A third face belongs to a woman already awaiting trial. The fourth face belongs to someone Devin sees every month at town council meetings - quiet, procedurally reliable, the least dramatic person in every room.
Thomas Greer has been invisible for twenty-four years. He's been hiding in Heartland Lake the whole time.
But the deeper Devin digs, the more the past reorders itself. The letter names a killer nobody expected. A cold case from Devin's Chicago drawer - Raymond Adler, ruled a heart attack in 2019 - is about to be reclassified. And the person Devin trusts most is about to learn something about her late husband that will rewrite twenty-two years of her own history.
With FBI Special Agent Vera Callan working alongside him and Deputy Marcus Webb finally stepping into his own, Devin Cole is about to close the longest case of his career - one that was already running before he ever held a badge.
Dark Current is the third book in the Detective Devin series - a gripping, layered thriller about the secrets a community buries, the patience of people who wait to be found, and the detective who refuses to stop looking.
