Under the Surface by M K Farrar (Law of Sandtown #2)
English | 2023 | Mystery & Thriller
She’s the law in a lawless society…
On the shore of a dying lake, multiple bodies are washed up like poisoned fish…
When a woman and her young son, both residents of the desert commune of Sandtown, make the gruesome discovery on the shore of the Salton Sea, Detective Lawrey Winters is called to the scene.
Lawrey is wrestling with her own demons. Her son will be released from prison soon, and he still blames her for putting him there.
Now she has a new mystery on her hands.
The bodies are all at various stages of decomposition, and two are wearing wristbands—the kind often seen on migrants.
Are the bodies victims of the human trafficking trade? If so, why was one of them recently spotted in Sandtown?
Lawrey works to unravel the truth, and reveals corruption deep beneath the surface.
The Salton Sea is dying, so why did someone use it as a burial site?
