Water Music

There's nowhere to run ...
When a little girl is found on an icy hillside, on the brink of starvation, Clare Hart is baffled that nobody has reported her missing.
In another troubling turn of events, a distraught woman approaches Clare for help locating her granddaughter, a gifted cellist who has abandoned her music scholarship and been seduced by a cultish religious community and its charismatic leader.
As Clare investigates these two cases, she realizes they are connected in ways too horrifying to fathom ...
Water Music is a dark and twisting thriller perfect for fans of Deon Meyer and Tess Gerritsen.
