Welcome to Litsy!

Peering over the side of the boat, the glare of early morning sun catches on something pale in the inky water. The boy�s curious fingertips break the surface, pulling up a tangle of long blonde hair from the reeds below� The discovery of a young student floating face down in Lake Windermere, her naked skin almost translucent in the freezing water, looks like yet another tragic teen suicide. But the victim�s lack of clothes make Forensic Pathologist Beth Adams want to investigate further. Anything to distract her from the arrival of her abusive ex-boyfriend�s body on the mortuary table that morning. With witnesses keeping tight-lipped and any clues washed away by the tides, it�s up to Beth to find the evidence her team needs. But then another girl is found in the lake, this time still clinging to life. She tells them she was at a party on a boat, and that she was pushed� As more bodies surface, Beth finds tiny traces of boat paint present on each victim. It�s a critical lead that links these attacks back to a tragic accident involving a group of school children years ago. Faced with a killer hungry for revenge, and with her own life spiralling out of control, it�s going to take every ounce of skill and determination for Beth to catch this monster before he takes another innocent life. But will Beth realise he�s been right beside her all along? An absolutely unputdownable serial killer thriller that will have you sleeping with the lights on.
