A Mystery Novel

Publisher Description

Three friends. One unfinished story. A killer back from the depths to write his own ending—the bestselling authors and cohosts of the Killer Author Club join forces in this mind-bending thriller.

Fifteen years ago, a group of college girls known as the “Dead Air Five” exposed a campus predator on live radio, ending his reign of terror one dark, unforgettable night. When Jake vanished into the lake’s black water, the world called it justice. The girls called it freedom.

They were wrong.

Now, Meg, Leah and Wren are settled into the ordinary lives they worked hard to build. But their quiet normalcy is shattered when strange things begin happening–things only Jake would know. As chilling patterns begin to emerge, the three friends realize that the darkness they buried may have returned—against all logic and possibly the very limits of science. Threatening messages and impossible events compel the women to reunite, only to uncover a truth more dangerous than they imagined. Some monsters don’t drown. They wait.
