Meer over het boek

Josie presses her hands into the drowned girl’s chest, counting compressions as she gazes at the lifeless body before her. The stark contrast between the girl’s vibrant past as a champion swimmer and her current state haunts Josie. On a routine visit to see her brother at Denton University, she discovers the girl face down in the pool, leading her to question how a talented athlete could accidentally drown. Nysa Somers, a beloved student with a bright future, seems an unlikely victim of recklessness. Josie and her team must unravel the mystery surrounding Nysa’s death, beginning with her missing backpack, which only yields empty wrappers, a phone, and a cryptic note urging her to "be a mermaid." The investigation intensifies when a nearby house fire nearly claims the lives of two granddaughters of a retired fireman, who ominously mutters "be a match" before the blaze. As the body count rises, Josie identifies a deadly pattern but struggles to get her partner Noah’s attention, who is unresponsive and distant. Determined to solve the case, she risks everything to confront the killer, but as danger closes in, she must rely on her team to save her before it’s too late. A gripping crime thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats.
