Echo of the Undertow

When a teenage girl vanishes on the fogbound Black Reef Coast, EMT Josie Brooks finds five pale shells arranged beside her abandoned car—the same signature linked to her childhood friend's disappearance twenty years earlier. Reclusive photographer Eli Thorne holds evidence that could expose the old case, but threats have kept him silent. With local authorities intent on looking away, Josie must decide whom to trust in a town where asking questions makes you a target.
