A child is found in the river.
Sheriff Jack Holloway has served Lexingfield, Virginia for fourteen years. He knows this town, its people, its grief. He has always believed that knowing a place this thoroughly means something.
He is wrong.
As the investigation deepens and the losses mount, Jack finds himself drawn to Grace James - the town librarian, the woman who runs the grief support group, the one person in Lexingfield who seems to understand what he is carrying. The farmhouse at the edge of town becomes the only place he can breathe.
Grace James has given her life to this community. She reads its people the way she reads her books - completely, with full attention, missing nothing. She knows what Lexingfield carries. She has always known.
Still Water is a literary crime novel about what small towns hold, what grief does to the people inside it, and the particular danger of being known by someone who understands you better than you understand yourself.
"The river knows everything. One need only listen carefully." - Hermann Hesse, SiddharthaMy work spans political thriller, gothic horror, and small-town crime, different worlds, same obsession with what people do when no one's watching.
Known for tightly controlled prose and morally complex characters, my work often unfolds at the intersection of politics, technology, and personal consequence, places where decisions are made long before they are visible. I publish under a pen name by design, allowing the work to stand apart from the author and speak on its own terms. The novels favor precision over spectacle, tension over exposition, and reward readers who pay attention to what is left unsaid. When not writing, I like to remain deliberately out of view writing my next novel.Contributor(s)
