Nine-year-old Levi King is alone in the darkness of vast Caddo Lake, in a boat whose motor just died. A sudden noise distracts him, and all goes dark. Darren Mathews is trying to emerge from another kind of darkness; after the events of his previous investigation, his marriage is in a precarious state of re-building, and his career and reputation lie in the hands of his mother. Levi's disappearance has links to Darren's last case, and to a wealthy businesswoman, the boy's grandmother, who seems more concerned about the fate of her business than that of her grandson. -- adapted from back cover
