He was found floating in Coldwater River by an immigrant German fishing in the stream. The only clues to his identity were a laundry mark on his shirt and the results of a chemical analysis of his stomach contents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColdwater was a quiet commuter town where violent crime was rare. But Captain of Police James Ripperman and his small team felt the pressure as lead after lead ended in a tangle of frustration. But no sooner had the floater's identity become known than maneuvers began to force him to close the case, and Ripperman uncovered the cancerous vein of violence and lust running beneath the placid surface of the seemingly idyllic community ...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Heister\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt was a warm night in Coldwater, Connecticut, but the stunning young woman did not notice the balmy air nor the appreciative glances of those who saw her.

Christine Burke found herself at a vacant cottage she had been hired to decorate, and Sands was crushing her with his force of will ... and his overwhelming strength. Christine never had the opportunity to mention she had been hired by Ann Ripperman, wife of the Acting Chief of Police - or that James Ripperman could match a killer's cruelty when murder visited his neighborhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Cassiday\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798674854586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Bruce Cassiday","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45897070805247,"sku":"9798674854586","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9dcb81aa-ccdf-474c-a3fc-48756d0ad017.jpg?v=1721373080","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-floater-bruce-cassiday-9798674854586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
