Calm Waters

Three victims, each stabbed through the heart and posed beside the river. The police think they have their killer. Eva Lah knows they have the wrong man.

True-crime writer Eva Lah has spent months connecting the recent murders to a series of forgotten deaths stretching back twenty years. Those earlier deaths were dismissed as robberies, drug disputes, and ordinary tragedies. Eva sees the work of a serial killer who has remained hidden for decades.

The latest suspect is the son of a family friend, turning the mystery Eva has pursued into one she can no longer keep at a distance.

With their daughter due in a matter of weeks, Eva and Mark should be preparing for the new life ahead of them. But they cannot step away while an innocent man stands accused and a killer remains free.

The killer once waited years between murders. Now the bodies are appearing faster—and the pattern Eva uncovered is beginning to change.

The water may look calm.

But something has been hunting along its banks for twenty years.

And Eva has just disturbed it.

Calm Waters is Book 6 in E&M Investigations, a dark European crime series where true-crime writer Eva pursues the stories others overlook and former military investigator Mark follows the evidence—no matter where it leads.
