“Some secrets don’t float—they drown.”

In Dead In The Water, B. Baskerville crafts a moody, atmospheric mystery that begins with a haunting discovery. When a local fisherman finds a body floating near the quiet shores of Lakeshore Hollow, the town is rattled. The dead woman is identified as Marina Lorne, a marine biologist with no known enemies—until Detective Mila Trent starts asking questions.

Marina had just returned from a six-month research trip. Her notes were encrypted. Her boat was scrubbed clean. And her closest friends are hiding something. Mila soon uncovers whispers of an environmental scandal, a love triangle, and a disturbing pattern of drownings dating back a decade.

The deeper Mila digs, the murkier the water becomes. Marina was working on a confidential project for a corporate sponsor—one with a lot to lose. She was also reconnecting with an ex whose alibi begins to crumble under scrutiny. And as Mila follows the tide of secrets, she realizes someone in the community will kill to keep the truth submerged.

Each chapter peels back layers of betrayal, grief, and small-town politics. B. Baskerville balances tension and emotional resonance beautifully, crafting characters that are flawed, real, and unforgettable.
