A summer mystery beneath the lake’s surface

A vacation aboard a restored cabin cruiser turns into a mystery after Cooper and his friends believe they have witnessed a murder. As they are drawn toward questions about a possible body in the lake, the investigation becomes entangled with the fear Cooper already struggles to understand and control. The lake setting gives the suspense a literal and thematic depth: what lies beneath the water parallels the fears the friends must confront. The description frames the danger as escalating alongside their search for answers, while keeping uncertainty about what they witnessed central to the premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in horror fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy mysteries involving a group of friends and a lakeside setting.
  • Those drawn to stories about confronting fear amid suspense and danger.

Book overview

Something is wrong with Cooper. He's plagued by a fear he doesn't understand and can't control. Cooper just wants to escape, and a summer vacation aboard the restored cabin cruiser, The Getaway, with best friends Gordy, Hiro, and Lunk seems like the perfect way to do it. Two weeks of fun--with no mysteries or life-and-death danger. That's the plan.

But their plans are shattered the very first night when they witness a murder. Or did they? Despite their intentions of leaving the investigation to the police, narrow misses and creepy encounters lure them in. Is there really a body floating in the underwater currents of the lake? The closer they get to the truth, the deeper into danger they get. Too late they see the trap. Now each of them must face their own buried fears . . . just below the surface.
