Redemption is a beautiful thing. When Sarah Whitman learns from the sheriff that the murder of her father, so long ago, may not have been a murder at all, she has no choice but to avenge his once respected, and then reviled, name.

"Sala keeps the tension high and the pace hopping." – Publishers Weekly
Frank Whitman’s name was reviled in the tiny village of Marmet, Maine, after he stole a fortune from the local bank and skipped town on his wife and daughter Sarah. They were left behind to deal with years of shame and torment around the scandal. Now his body has been found at the bottom of Flagstaff Lake—throwing doubt on all that Sarah thought she knew. Has her father been innocent this entire time?
Sarah’s new obsession is uncovering the true thief and killer—which is making some people nervous. What she finds will make her the next target. But her childhood crush, Tony DeMarco, comes out of the woodworks acting desperate to keep her safe. Is this the beginning of a rekindled love? Or does Tony have something to hide?
First published in 2002, Dark Water received critical acclaim and a worldwide legion of fans for its fast-paced romantic suspense.
