Some secrets don't float.
Deep in the secluded waters of Terrebonne Parish, a terrifying predator isn't just hunting-he's using the swamp to completely erase his tracks. Local women and unsuspecting out-of-towners are vanishing into the marsh, lured into the labyrinth of waterways under the guise of an isolated "fishing trip". But these aren't excursions. They are carefully engineered traps where a meticulous killer leverages the brutal local wildlife to destroy every single shred of forensic evidence.
When heavily scavenged bodies begin surfacing in the bayous of Pointe-Aux-Chenes, the grim task of missing victims falls on Detective Clay Arceneaux. Baffled by a complete lack of physical ties or traditional crime scenes, Arceneaux quickly realizes he isn't looking at a string of tragic misadventures. He is hunting a brilliant, confident monster who uses apex predators to do his dirtiest work.
As the body count escalates, the traditional rules of investigation fail. With the alligators effectively destroying the physical evidence, Detective Arceneaux must rely on fleeting behavioral clues, digital footprints, and the killer's own growing hubris to close the net. In a high-stakes race against time through dark, winding waterways, Clay must outsmart the predator before the killer selects his next target for a final, fatal tour.
