First book in the five-book Garth Myers Mystery Series
When a gifted postdoctoral researcher vanishes after reporting strange activity in the old UW steam tunnels, chemical engineer Garth Myers is pulled into a mystery he's spent a lifetime trying to forget. As he and Detective Martinson unravel hidden labs, encrypted journals, and a trail that leads deep beneath Lake Monona, Garth is forced to confront a past drowning he never fully escaped—and an intelligence that has been waiting for him ever since. What begins as a missing-person case becomes an encounter with something alive in the dark… something that remembers him.
