Dark Current

The case was supposed to be closed.
The network was dismantled. The arrests were made. The money frozen. Eighteen months of quiet. Everybody believed it.
Everybody was wrong. Five days. One weather window.
A body in Lake Union for a specific audience.
It's enough to bring Evan Hale and his team back into something they thought was finished. The network was rebuilt. Quieter, deeper, more dangerous. Now it's moving something the Navy cannot afford to lose through the Pacific Northwest's most remote waters.
A harbormaster kept a log when nobody asked him to. An analyst found a pattern in permit applications that no one expected to find. A fisherman knows the channels better than anyone alive. A team of detectives and investigators who have been shot at, surveilled, and targeted, haven't stopped.
What they're up against isn't just a network. An architecture decades old. Embedded in legitimate institutions. Run by people who don't think of themself as a criminal because they never had to.
This dark current runs deep. It doesn't ask permission.
Dark Current is the third installment of the Evan Hale Thriller Series. It stands alone. For readers of Low Tide in Rain City and Cold Water. Welcome back to Seattle.
