About this ebook

A murderer is hiding beneath the city of light—and Lou Thorne is running out of time.

When a celebrated feminist art historian is found dead in her Paris bathtub, authorities call it a shocking suicide. But Lou Thorne knows better. Her compass—the dark gift that guides her to killers—has been pulling her relentlessly back to Paris, and it won’t let go.

Then an Algerian graduate student vanishes. Lou finds what’s left of her in the catacombs.

As the deaths begin to stack up, Lou realizes something is wrong. Her compass won’t lock onto the killer. The trail fractures. The answers refuse to surface. And while more women disappear across the city, Lou is forced to confront a terrifying possibility: the truth may be buried deeper than any body.

Caught between an elusive predator, a city built on secrets, and the dangerous loyalties surrounding the man she loves, Lou must hunt without her greatest advantage, before the killer strikes again.

Dark, atmospheric, and brutally intimate, What Comes Around is the sixth installment in the Shadows in the Water series—where justice isn’t clean, monsters wear human faces, and survival always comes at a cost.

This Book continues the exploits of Lou Thorne, the nemesis of criminals and villains. It's best to read the previous books to understand the characters, get the references to previous adventures, and be familiar with the supernatural aspects of Lou and La Loon. With her adopted family of Dani, Piper, Konstantine, and King, they work together to investigate, uncover, and end crime. Lou does the "wet work", the rest investigate and report miscreants to her. There is lots of relationship drama among the team members, but when the occasion warrants, they all work together, looking out for each other. Everything is here: dark mystery, romance, hot sex, good food, bad people getting what they deserved, a happy, satisfying ending - can't ask for more. [CAUTION: spoilers ahead. Quick recap of story highlights, which are no substitute for the actual story!] Lou finds a mystery in the catacombs of Paris. Konstantine faces a war with the Albanian Mafia. Lou and Konstantine are still an item. Dani and Piper enter a rough patch as Piper realizes the gulf between their wealth and status. Piper's mom dies of an overdose. Lou finds out what Konstantine's problem is from Stefano and decides to help eliminate the Albanians. Which she does, completely, with extreme prejudice. King and Beth start a relationship, King finally starting to let go of Lucy. Lou solves the mystery of the bones in the catacombs, but almost loses her life. Konstantine mangages to save her with the help of La Loon and Jabbers. Finally, everyone is together for Thanksgiving.
