When Jersey City PI Marti Wells takes a last-minute skip-trace from bail bondsman Bear Wachowski, she thinks a major hurricane grinding up the coast is her biggest threat. She is wrong.
The skip has vanished into a city that is quickly going underwater, but he isn't the only one moving through the flooded streets. Two escaped convicts from Rahway are hunting a fifteen year old score. They are looking for a three million dollar fortune that was never recovered. They have been waiting over a decade for this chance, and they will kill anyone standing between them and the payday.
As the power grids fail and the Hudson overruns its banks, Marti finds herself trapped in a dead zone where the police have retreated and the predators have come out to play. The deeper she digs into the missing money, the more the water reveals. The people she trusts most are caught in the crossfire of a blood-soaked history. Now Marti must decide how far she will go to protect her own and how much of the truth she’ll have to bury.
