Mailboat: Book One

In Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, where mail is delivered by boat, falling into the lake is just a hazard of the job. Discovering a dead body is just not. When young mail jumper Bailey Johnson finds a man tied to a pier post, the discovery revives a multi-million–dollar case and a manhunt that were dead since before she was born. It’s the last thing she needs. She’s busy enough just trying to survive, a forgotten child in the foster care system.

Mailboat Captain Tommy Thomlin is as steady as they come—piloting the same route around the lake for nearly fifty years. Thankfully, the town has forgotten his family ties to the lake’s darkest history. But Bailey’s discovery re-opens old wounds that were only half-healed, revealing that his threatening past is closer than he’d imagined, and that burying the truth about the ones he loved is no longer an option.

Officer Ryan Brandt is a drifter who’s finally drifted back to his home town—only to run headlong into his ex, Detective Monica Steele. Resentment lies just beneath the surface, but it’s impossible to avoid each other in a small department. As Monica tracks a high-profile killer, Ryan is left to search for the truth behind Bailey’s accumulating bruises, only to find the girl sucked into the growing plot.

The gathering storm threatens everything Bailey loved about Chicago’s idyllic lakeside getaway. But all she wants, all she ever wanted, is a family of her own—provided she survives the summer.
