CROW The River Bend Series

Five friends. Decades of silence. When an unlucky catch dredges up hidden crimes, will it launch a fresh-faced grad on the journey of a lifetime?



Claudia Middleton is full of hope but broke. So even though she's been saddled with unfair community service hours, the recent college alum is still happy to spend her summer looking after her ailing aunt. And any worries that small-town life will be dull are dashed when a local fisherman reels in a bag of human bones.



As the news of the suspicious discovery spreads, a sudden confession from her sick relative leaves Claudia craving answers. And after she becomes the target of a vicious hit-and-run, the stubborn young woman refuses to let a decades-old conspiracy fester.



Will the threads connecting Claudia to the past keep tugging her toward death?
