Some secrets refuse to stay buried.
When Detective Paige Sinclair joined the force, she knew she'd have to prove herself. What she didn't expect? Her first case would be one that no one else wanted to solve.
A young woman, Lillian Rhodes, is found fully dressed in an empty bathtub-no visible injuries, no forced entry, and no clear cause of death. On the surface, it looks like a tragic accident. But Paige's instincts scream otherwise.
As Paige fights to uncover what really happened, she finds herself up against a charming sociopath, a web of dangerous connections, and a series of eerie dreams that may hold the key to the case.
With time running out, the question isn't just who killed Lillian.
It's how far they'll go to keep the truth buried.
