"Damn. Good. Book. The Body Below plunges deep beneath the placid waters of the present to confront the murkier water below the surface . . . This finely wrought murder mystery shows the reader the wisdom that comes when a search for the truth takes aim at a distant shore. Get ready to dive in!”
-- Glenn Stout, author of Young Woman and the Sea and Tiger Girl and the Candy Kid
