The Girl in the Lake

A HOLMES, MARGARET AND POE MYSTERY The girl in the lake was never supposed to be found. When her body surfaces in the frozen waters of Cayuga Lake, a note left on the body turns Brendan Holmes from private investigator to prime suspect.

They must stop solving crimes…or be forced to commit them. ---------------------------------------------- PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON ‘Nobody does it better' JEFFERY DEAVER 'No one gets this big without amazing natural storytelling talent - which is what Jim has, in spades' LEE CHILD 'Patterson boils a scene down to the single, telling detail, the element that defines a character or moves a plot along.
