Description
Former Coast Guard Boatswain Frank Anderson knows stuff about boats. When the local cops ask for his help to recover two university students who have died violently in a small boat accident, he tells them he's damn sure the deaths were not the result of negligence. The collision was deliberate and the crime was murder.
For the second time this summer, Anderson finds himself patching together a network of cops, local leaders and talented young women to find the motive for this murder. But it won't stop there: eight more people will lose their lives before the students' deaths are avenged, and before an evil mining corporation is brought to its knees.
You will want to buy this book if you like mysteries about ordinary people in small communities standing up to international tyrants. Nobody Drowned is the second novel in the Awan Lake series and is a "thrilling novel, a great story, and well-written. I would highly recommend it to others and would not hesitate to read more by Peter Kingsmill." (NetGalley Reviewer)
