Silent Summer (Marley Madison Short Mysteries #3)

When a long-submerged car is pulled from the depths of Silent Lake, former detective Marley Madison--now sheriff--is drawn into a decades-old mystery. Inside the vehicle are the remains of a teenage girl and a young counselor, both linked to a now-defunct reform camp for troubled teen girls. As Marley investigates, she uncovers a web of institutional failure, abuse, and silenced voices—one that reaches deep into the heart of her small town and brushes against the secrets her late husband never shared. The truth was buried long ago. But the lake never forgets.
