From USA Today bestselling author Daniel Hecht, The Body Below takes the reader on an uneasy quest for the nature of truth and who gets to tell it. Perfect for fans of In the Woods by Tana French and The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley.
Conn WhitmanтАЩs long-distance swims keep him centered and saneтАФuntil a terrifying underwater encounter in a woodland lake plunges him into the middle of a murder investigation.
Once a superstar investigative reporter, disgraced by misconduct, Conn returned to his Vermont hometown to put his life back together. Now, after ten years on the job, he knows his community like nobody else. When he kicks a submerged object while swimmingтАФsomething with the density and resilience of human fleshтАФhe immediately wonders if itтАЩs connected to an unsolved murder in a nearby town.
Detective Marlene Selanski is the lead on the State Police investigation and soon locks horns with Conn. ItтАЩs clear she considers him a suspect and believes his тАЬvigilante researchтАЭ is interfering with her investigation. Defying Selanski, Conn and his fianc├йe Celine Gabrielli combine their talentsтАФher PhD in psychology, his skills at journalistic research and wealth of knowledge about VermontтАЩs old villagesтАФto seek answers on their own.
As layers of deception peel away, Conn and Celine realize too late the dangers of amateur sleuthing: Murder disrupts lives in unexpected ways, sending out ripples and bringing long-hidden secrets to the surface.
