Beneath the surface, the dead are waiting… When mermaid private investigator Alexis Silver is summoned by her CIA handler for a “quiet favor,” she expects another classified errand. Instead, she’s flown to rural Oregon, where a long-forgotten reservoir hides a drowned town, and a Cold War listening post built to monitor something the Agency still refuses to name. But the lake holds more than secrets. As Alex dives into the sunken streets of Haskell Springs, she finds spirits drifting through ruined storefronts and ghostly figures glaring from the windows of submerged houses. Some plead for help. Some want justice. And some want vengeance. The deeper she goes, the more Alex realizes the truth: the dead are growing stronger, bold enough to reach into the world above and kill the innocent. When Alex learns that the spirits plan to destroy a vulnerable family, she races to intervene, only to discover the haunting is tied to something far older, stranger, and more powerful than restless ghosts. To stop the killings, Alex must navigate spectral politics, ancient magic, government secrets, and a mystery buried since 1952. But saving the living means confronting a force the CIA once tried to hide at the bottom of a lake… one the spirits won’t let go without a fight. Sunken towns. Angry ghosts. Hidden artifacts, and a mermaid detective caught between the dead and the classified. Silver Lake is a fast-paced paranormal mystery filled with danger, dark humor, and the unstoppable heart of Alexis Silver: mermaid, mother, and supernatural detective. Dive in if you dare.
