About this ebook
From the bestselling author of the Stone Barrington series comes a thriller following a former investigative journalist trying to escape his past by moving to a lakeside home in the North Georgia Mountains, only to discover the dark and evil secret hidden deep within the lake’s waters.
Nestled in the mountains of North Georgia, a tranquil lake hides a dark history. Built by a powerful and obsessive man at an unthinkable cost, the reservoir transformed an isolated town into a thriving community—but some crimes can never be drowned. When former investigative journalist John Howell arrives hoping to escape the wreckage of his career and write his next book, he instead uncovers a mystery that reaches deep into the town’s past.
As Howell becomes entangled in a bitter conflict between the town’s ruthless patriarch, the local sheriff, and a family shunned for generations, he joins forces with an ambitious young reporter determined to expose corruption. At the same time, he is drawn to a shy backwoods beauty burdened by her family’s tragic legacy. But when eerie visions and ghostly visits from a mysterious young girl begin invading his secluded cabin, Howell realizes the truth is more terrifying than he ever imagined.
Rich with Southern atmosphere, supernatural suspense, and unforgettable characters, Under the Lake is a gripping blend of mystery, Gothic horror, and psychological suspense from one of the genre’s master storytellers.
