Moving home to Carrington, NC, oncology nurse Leigh Weston hopes to recuperate from a harrowing experience with a psychotic patient. But her fragile peace is shattered when someone tampers with her brakes, and her friend and dive team investigator Ryan Parker finds a body in a lake. The crime has all the hallmarks of a serial killer on the loose, and Leigh initially believes that her former patient is stalking her. Unfortunately she may not be off the mark. Before Leigh and Ryan become the killer's next victims, they must solve the case quickly. Launching a new series of romantic suspense, Carol Award winner Blackburn (Covert Justice; Hidden Legacy) keeps the tension high, building a palpable sense of fear in the protagonists as their investigation comes closer to identifying the killer. VERDICT Fans of Dani Pettrey's "Alaskan Courage" thrillers will enjoy this nail-biter of a series opener, which will also be appreciated by romantic and psychological suspense fans. © Copyright 2018.

During a dive-team practice, investigator Ryan Parker finds a dismembered body at the bottom of a local lake. When he asks ER nurse-practitioner Leigh for access to her dock and land, she is happy to have the police around as she is still shaky from an experience with a stalker at her old job. But soon, it becomes clear that she is still at risk, and Ryan, who has loved Leigh for years, sees that Leigh's case and the body may be related. Danger and her growing desire to build a future with Ryan help bring Leigh back to prayer and faith. Leigh's ability to rescue herself, Ryan's respect and support, and a terrific cast of law-enforcement and hospital personnel make this vivid start of Blackburn's Dive Team Investigations series a real page-turner.--Alessio, Amy Copyright 2018 Booklist
