Jay Porter is not the lawyer he set out to be, but he''s long since made peace with the American Dream and carefully tucked away his darkest sins. Jay believes he can make a fresh start in Houston, Texas, until the night in a boat out on the bayou when he impulsively saves a woman from drowning - 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 the tangled mystery that reaches into the upper echelons of Houston''s corporate power brokers, Jay must confront the demons of his past. A compelling and provocative new thriller in the tradition of Dennis Lehane, Black Water Rising marks the arrival of an electrifying new talent.
