Blood at Water's Edge

Blood at Water's Edge by J. Raymond Greene is a haunting exploration of a city's darkest secrets. When two boys fishing off a pier in a quiet corner of the Delaware River in South Philadelphia snag the bloated body of a man, an investigation is set in motion that uncovers far more than anyone anticipated. What begins as a routine inquiry soon spirals into a deeper story of multiple murders, corruption, and betrayal. As the investigation unfolds, Homicide Detective Alec Lottier is confronted with the cost of uncovering the truth becoming all too real. When a colleague detective, and a newspaper reporter are murdered, and an incipient gang war is fomenting, the foundations of the city are shaken as are the police committed to exposing its hidden horrors. In a city where loyalty is tested and justice is elusive, Greene's novel reveals the lengths one must go to find the truth - no matter the price.
