When they were younger, eight friends from South Boston were inseparable. But then something terrible happened. While camping as teenagers in Provincetown in 1974 they stumbled upon a dead and mutilated body. Clues left at the gruesome scen...e told them who had committed the crime. Fearful for their own lives, the teens did something they were well versed in doing. They vowed to adhere to Southie’s Code of Silence.
Thirty-eight years later the identities of both the victim and the killer remain a mystery. Determined to crack New England’s oldest cold case, Provincetown’s newest police chief hunts for the members of the childhood pact who are now well into their fifties. Hoping to jog some memories, he quickly learns that the passage of time hasn’t breached the integrity of the old neighborhood code.
Breaking a promise made in the days of the Potato Famine means far more than straying from a generational habit. It means the betrayal of an entire nation; an action whose consequences no one wants to see. Almost no one.
Coming in September, from FORGE!

Product Description
"When they were younger, twin brothers Chris and Kevin Barrett were friends. But then something terrible happened. Their father, Massachusetts State Police Sergeant David Barrett, mysteriously vanished while he investigated five brutal murders. One son believed in his father, the other did not, and something else happened which ended their friendship and changed both of them forever. Mankind tampered with nature and the results were disastrous.
At a time when Bostonians knew themselves and one another, family members understood and played their roles; friends and lovers showed loyalty and respected boundaries. But nature struck back. The unforgiving blow brought with it a time of disorder, imbalance and civil unrest.
A fast-paced, tense and unnerving paranormal mystery, Dirty Water is also an epic novel of love and loyalty, faith and family, in which people irrevocably scarred by the past find themselves colliding with their darkest characteristics."
