"In this spellbinding mystery, a cop must solve a curious case of drownings that exposes the strange nature of her town. Lieutenant Anna Koray still can't outrun the darkness. She's started living with her boyfriend and she even has a dog-everything should be normal. Except that mysterious things always find her. After she saves a little boy from nearly drowning, she notices bizarre marks on his body like something tried to drag him to the water's depths. When a similar case happens soon after, Anna can't shake the feeling that it's no coincidence, especially when the victims are family members of some of the wealthiest men in town known as the Kings of Warsaw Creek. And they have enemies ... like the local bartender who just may be a witch, hexing those who cross her. But a deeper look into the case leads her to a history of drownings in town. Could it have started from an old legend? A curse? Or maybe there's a shadowy being luring victims to their doom. Anna's not convinced. But whoever-or whatever-it is behind the recent drownings, Anna will have to uncover soon ... or she'll find herself underwater, slipping into the darkness once again"-- Provided by publisher.
