Finding belonging in a lost ecosystem...
THE
DROWNING BAY
An ex-con and a refugee boy look for his missing activist mother.
Allison knows his mother is never coming home.
With the hacking skills that sent her to prison, she has, on parole, discovered the activist’s unpublished blog. The activist has left her family and her adopted boy–to fight for the bay.
Allison convinces her ex to break his commitment to the UN High Commission for Refugees and join her search. But a corrupt detective in the pocket of an unscrupulous developer is planning to have them join the body that floats with the fish in the bay.
Will the poison tides of the lost ecosystem teach Allison about the importance of belonging to a community again? She questions why she must she hold herself accountable in an irresponsible world.
Does she lose her way in this heartbreakingly real eco-thriller?
The Drowning Bay is the third suspense in The Trilogy for Freedom. For a deeper grasp of the compelling characters in Book Three, read the two previous stand-alone novels.
If you liked, Where the Crawdads Sing and enjoy delving into the psyche of a committed character who must weigh ethical choices against a global responsibility to the environment, then read this book.
“Both delicate and powerful,
The Drowning Bay is a thrilling ecosuspense that weighs personal accountability against
a global responsibility.”
~Lauren Rico, award-winning author of the Reverie trilogy, a psychological thriller series, set in the world of competitive classical music.
The Drowning Bay is ambrosia for fans of Geoffrey Wells’s blue-ribbon ecosuspense trilogy. This exhilarating final installment brings together the major players in an intriguing new setting, the semirural east end of Long Island, which is depicted with such skill and affection that it feels like a living, breathing character. The story takes the reader deep into Allison’s psyche while exploring issues of conservation, ethics, and conflicting responsibilities.
~ Pamela Burford, best-selling author of Undertaking Irene
