The Drowning Hour: A Case Shannon Investigation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257939136)

A missing man. A lake that keeps its secrets. And a truth someone is willing to kill to protect.

When marine biologist Thomas Vane vanishes from the shores of Dunn Lake, authorities are quick to call it a drowning. But his sister knows better-and so does private investigator Case Shannon.

Drawn into a case that refuses to stay simple, Case uncovers a disturbing pattern: stolen research, a controversial development project, and a powerful investor with everything to lose. As he digs deeper, the truth begins to surface-one that ties environmental corruption to a carefully staged disappearance.

But this time, the evidence didn't disappear.

It was hidden.

Set against the haunting backdrop of rural Maine, The Drowning Hour is a slow-burning, atmospheric mystery filled with sharp twists, quiet tension, and a relentless pursuit of truth. As Case follows the trail across fog-covered lakes and shadowed forests, he must answer one question before time runs out:

Did Thomas Vane drown... or did he vanish to survive?

Perfect for fans of character-driven crime fiction, environmental thrillers, and intelligent investigative mysteries.
