In the hottest summer on record, Iron Lake reservoir is emptying, revealing secrets that were intended to stay hidden beneath the water. The tragic story of a missing man is a media sensation, and abruptly the writer and the cop falling in love is just a postscript to horrors neither could have imagined.
Best Selling Horror writer Chris Lassiter struggles for inspiration and he’s close to never writing again. His life has become an endless loop of nothing but empty pages, personal appearances, and a marketing machine that is systematically destroying his muse. In a desperate attempt to force Chris to complete unfinished manuscripts his agent buys a remote cabin. All Chris has to do is hide away and write, but he’s lost his muse, and not even he can make stories appear from thin air.
Sawyer Wiseman left town for Chicago, chasing the excitement and potential of being a big city cop, rising the ranks, and making his mark. A case gone horribly wrong draws him back to Lancaster Falls. Working for the tiny police department in the town he’d been running from, digging into cold cases and police corruption, he spends his day's healing, and his nights hoping the nightmares of his last case leave him alone.
Review
Flabbergasted
is the best emotion that I can use to describe how I feel after reading RJ
Scott’s newest release What Lies Beneath:
Lancaster Falls Book 1. This
storyline had everything that I love in a suspense tale; mystery, drama, hidden
town secrets, a possible murder or murderers, lies, conspiracy and two men who
are caught in the middle— thrown together by chance but seem
to be the anchor that each other needs.
Sawyer
Wiseman is glad to be back in his hometown of Lancaster Falls and working in
their small police department after leaving the city of Chicago along with the
buried ghosts that only seem to haunt him when he closes his eyes. Even if it
means dealing with the police captain who doesn’t hide the fact that he hates that
Sawyer is assigned to work in his department. Sawyer, being low on the totem
pole, is ordered to go and see who is now living in the cabin on top of the
mountain. The possibilities could be a drug dealer, maybe a killer on the run,
what he doesn’t expect is some nosy author that is having issues with writer's
block.
Author
CJ Ward aka Chris Lassiter is staying in a cabin in Lancaster Falls— per is publicist advice— trying to recreate his small
town he grew up in. He hopes it helps him with his writer's block. So
not working for Chris as of the fourth day, and he still can’t seem to find
anything to write, even Kota, his dog, seems to feel the tension. However, when
sexy Officer Wiseman comes as some sort of welcoming committee, Chris becomes
more fixated on the officer and something he had mentioned. Always looking for
inspiration for his novels, he decides to do the opposite of what he was warned
not to do which leads this town into more than just the skull and skeleton
remains.
Big
cities may have crimes in big portions just for the fact of higher population
but it’s the smaller towns with history where everyone seems to know everyone
and where the deepest and most dangerous ones seems to lurk. Sawyer and Chris
are finding out that there is more than meets the eye within this small town.
Some people are hiding big secrets. As Sawyer and Chris start to find their
love and happiness together what more lies beneath the water? I still have so
many questions and hope to get more answers in book two Drew and Landon’s story
coming out this fall.
