Murder isn't always the ultimate violation....
Pete and Connie Bartholomew are making a second go at marriage, and this time around they're determined to make it work...come hell or high water. But the honeymoon's been cut short by a phone call from the police chief of Nashtoba Island, suggesting they return home. Pete's old friend Sarah Abrew, eighty-eight and counting, has made a rather startling confession: she caught local accountant Webster Sutton in a compromising position with an innocent young girl and proceeded to shoot him dead....
Indeed, Webster Sutton has been found with his belt unbuckled and a bullet in his brain. But as Pete and Connie discover, the rest of Sarah's story just doesn't hold water. Cutting through the lies, however, could mean exposing a truth no one on Nashtoba wants to hear.
As if there isn't enough excitement for one honeymoon, a hurricane is set to slam into the island -- but its churning power is nothing compared to the destructive force of the dark memories and secret sins about to rise to the surface in Dirty Water.
