Synopsis

In a city built on secrets, some lies protect the powerful. Others are meant to bury the dead.

For jaded Homicide Detective Milo Corrigan, the murder of a popular city councilman is just another grim night in the rain-slicked streets of Port Sterling, Ohio. The case seems open-and-shut: a local activist is found standing over the body, murder weapon in hand. It's a slam dunk-the kind of case his politically ambitious boss, Assistant Chief Marcus Thorne, wants closed before the sun comes up.

But Milo's gut, the only thing he trusts anymore, tells him the scene is too perfect, the suspect too convenient. His quiet investigation puts him on a collision course with Evie Reed, a fiercely idealistic public defender who refuses to let her client become another cog in a broken justice machine.

Forced into a fragile, unwilling alliance, the detective and the lawyer begin to peel back the layers of the official story. They soon discover the murder wasn't a simple crime of passion, but a meticulously staged execution designed to hide a much darker conspiracy-one that slithers through the city's halls of power. The victim wasn't the man everyone thought he was. The real motive is buried under a mountain of lies. And the deadliest threat isn't the killer, but the corrupt system sworn to protect them.

From bestselling author Carter Bryson comes Where the Truth Drowns, a gripping and atmospheric noir thriller about the price of truth. As Assistant Chief Thorne uses his immense power to hunt them, erasing evidence and turning Milo's own department against him, the two unlikely allies are left with a single, desperate choice: risk everything to expose the conspiracy, even if it means they end up in the crosshairs.

In a city where the truth is meant to drown, digging for it will either get them justice... or a shallow grave.
