A car rises from the Providence River with a dead woman locked inside the trunk.
The vehicle has been underwater for two years. The woman was supposed to be living in Florida.
Detective Alex Cordeiro soon identifies the victim as Carla Tavares, a city employee who vanished after uncovering irregularities inside Providence's massive waterfront redevelopment project. Official records say Carla resigned and left Rhode Island voluntarily-but someone manufactured that story, and powerful people have spent years protecting it.
With her partner, Paul Mercer, Alex follows the evidence through altered property maps, shell companies, hidden recordings, and a trail of corruption reaching from City Hall to the criminal organization controlling the waterfront.
As witnesses disappear and buried secrets begin surfacing, Alex realizes Carla's murder was never an isolated crime. It was part of something built into the foundation of the city itself.
And the people responsible will kill again before they allow Providence to uncover what lies beneath.
What Providence Buried is the explosive first novel in the Alex Cordeiro Crime Series-a gripping tale of murder, corruption, and one detective's determination to give the forgotten dead a voice.
