He's still grieving the loss of a close friend and co-worker and he's not prepared for this.
Carla Pearson vanishes from a river camp cabin after her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Mason Hayes, leaves her there following an argument. The cabin is only accessible by boat and beyond it are thousands of acres of jungle-like swamps and dense, nearly impenetrable woods. What happened to Carla and who is responsible for her disappearance? Is it Mason Hayes? Is it her ex, Easton Stevens? His jealous wife? Or someone John hasn't even thought of?
John is in no condition to work this case but has no choice. He must find Carla before it's too late. He can't lose another loved one.
"Brilliantly conceived and executed. An impressive blend of procedural and fair-play whodunit. Lister expertly balances emotion and detection while doling out logical, gut-wrenching twists." Publisher's Weekly Starred Review
