Still Water

di Cormac Ridley (Autore)

Latchgate, 2026

Detective Sergeant Cora Bishop has closed more homicides than anyone in Port Salish, and she has never once trusted a tidy story. So when a beloved hospice nurse is found dead in a break-in with nothing taken, Bishop knows a staged scene when she sees one. Ellen Tran had no enemies. What she had was a secret. Two weeks before she died, she sat the deathbed of an old dock hand who unburdened fifty years of guilt before the end, and afterward Ellen began asking the wrong quiet questions. Those questions lead back twenty-five years, to a nineteen-year-old girl the town wrote off as a runaway, and to a man who has spent every year since building a respectable life on the exact ground where she disappeared. He is a pillar of Port Salish now. He sits on the committees that decide which cases get pursued and which are left to gather dust. When Bishop pulls the thread, a city that has always protected its own closes ranks, and she is warned, in the polite language of powerful people, to let it lie. She will not. Working a cold trail through the rain and the hard class lines of a shrinking harbor town, Bishop and her partner have to prove what everyone would rather keep drowned, before the last of the evidence goes under for good. Still Water is the first of the Port Salish Cases, a grounded, fair-play police procedural for readers who like their detectives stubborn, their small towns full of buried secrets, and their justice hard-won.
