Sinossi

A vanished trail. A hidden truth. A woman who won’t back down.
 
Franklin County, Tennessee, 1930s—Three men step into the mist-covered woods of Bear Mountain and never return. Locals whisper that secrets don’t stay buried for long, but this time the truth proves as elusive as the wilderness itself.
 
Dr. Lucy Cameron isn’t a woman to cross. A physician and medical researcher, she’s spent years standing apart in a town that resents a woman with power. When the sheriff asks for her help—not for her medical skills, but because she knows the mountain better than anyone—Lucy finds herself drawn into something far more dangerous than she imagined.
 
What begins as a search for missing men soon unearths something darker. Corruption runs deep. Power goes unchecked. And someone is willing to kill to keep their secrets hidden.
 
With danger closing in and no one left to trust, Lucy must decide how far she’s willing to go to expose the truth. Because in Franklin County, justice is a myth—and survival always carries a price.
 
For readers of Southern noir, fearless heroines, and historical mysteries steeped in atmosphere, Snake Pond delivers a taut, unflinching journey into a world where justice blurs into revenge.

    Miles from the laid-back lifestyle of No Name Key, and just shy of the raucous nightlife of Miami and South Beach, lies Coconut Grove, a tropical oasis with a distinct Bohemian flair. Lately, a seedy underside has emerged along the Grove's waterfront, preying on adventurous young women. 
    Somewhere amid all the glitz and glamour, hides a thief who stole a fortune in Aztec emeralds. Or did he? Jesse McDermitt must first determine if the victim herself is a thief. The trail of clues leads him to evidence that the thief may be involved in a string of more heinous crimes. 
    Jesse and Chyrel enlist the help of the recently returned Charity, and the trio go "undercover" at a floating swinger's party headed for the Bahamas, which may well be a front for torture and murder. 
    When a sudden violent storm strikes Stiltsville, Jesse finds himself alone on the ocean, trying to recover the treasure and put a murderer behind bars - but first he must win the battle with Mother Nature.
