His most promising client is a low-rent call girl, and he runs his fledgling law practice out of a dingy strip mall. But he’s long since made peace with his path to the American Dream, carefully tucking away his darkest sins: the guns, the FBI file, the trial that nearly destroyed him.\nHouston, Texas, 1981. It’s here that Jay believes he can make a fresh start. That is, until the night he impulsively saves a drowning woman’s life – and opens a Pandora’s Box. Her secrets put Jay in danger, ensnaring him in a murder investigation that could cost him his practice, his family, and even his life. But before he can get to the bottom of a tangled mystery that reaches into the upper echelons of Houston’s corporate powerbrokers, Jay must confront the demons of his past.\n“A near-perfect balance of trenchant social commentary, rich characterizations, and action-oriented plot.... Attica Locke [is] a writer wise beyond her years.”?— Los Angeles Times\n“Atmospheric… deeply nuanced... akin to George Pelecanos or Dennis Lehane.... Subtle and compelling.”?— New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amistad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255132446773,"sku":"ByrdShop_0061735868","price":23.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780061735868_1bd6ec94-5bd0-4477-835d-91c7f082c80d.jpg?v=1779922339","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/black-water-rising-a-novel-9780061735868","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
