by Roger Lynn Howell (Author)
Sheriff Ada Reed dredges up a car that has lain at the bottom of a reservoir for sixteen years. Inside she finds the remains of two young people, brutally murdered. High school classmates of hers, the boy is remembered as a bully and a thief, while the girl was his little shiksa, his cheap tart from a poor Christian family.
Ada and her friends try to unravel the final days of the 'Bonnie and Clyde' couple and identify their long-ago killer while reminded of half-buried regrets of their own. Ada's own life begins to unravel when she receives divorce papers from her husband, then a sudden reminder of past intimacy with Ben McGann. But there was more to the young victims than popular accounts portray, and more than bones were dredged up with the car. Findings of local corruption, prejudice, and betrayal touch nearly everyone in town, bringing some to shame, some to tears, and someone, it seems, to murder.
