During a bone-chilling snap of record cold, a series of enigmatic drowning deaths plays out in a small Hamptons community on Long Island's Shinnecock Bay. Quickly implicated in the deaths is a local college professor named Deacon Kane, himself recovering from the accidental drowning of his only son years ago - but recovering slowly, with the help of alcohol and an addictive, messy affair with a married woman.
As the police and several other interested parties watch his every move, Kane befriends a hypnotically alluring bartender named Colette and continues his brutal downward spiral with little regard for self-preservation. Whether and how Kane is connected to the young men who drowned is the question everyone wants answered. As it becomes clear that Kane himself may not know the extent of his own involvement, all must admit that something dark and sinister is at work in Southampton.
From Daniel Judson, Shamus Award winner and emerging master of the modern literary thriller, comes a riveting and accomplished crime novel set in the seedy underside of a celebrated beach town.
