Synopsis
Marty has missing persons on the mind: her husband, who's always on the run and out of her reach; her ten-year-old daughter, who's thinking of following in her father's footsteps; and, finally, fourteen-year-old Johnny Donato. But that file closes; no longer a case of missing persons, it becomes a case of murder. Young Johnny's mutilated body is found floating in the East Fork of the White River, bringing a small town's deepest fears swirling to the surface.
Several of the locals turn wary eyes on a group of newcomers, who have begun an archaeological dig bankrolled by wealthy Arizona developer Bob Rueger. Rueger's great-grandfather had founded a utopian religious community in Nichols County. Now Rueger has returned to Indiana to re-create this agricultural village, steeped in local history and culture. When Johnny's body is found so close to Rueger's land, the enterprising tycoon's motives are called into question - and a cloud of suspicion falls on the entire crew he has assembled to bring his dream to life.

Reviews
Set in eastern Indiana, this powerful mystery, featuring Deputy Marty Hopkins in her second appearance (after Gravestone), starts with the disappearance of a teenage boy and ends by connecting religious fanaticism of generations past to suffering and murder in the present. Johnny Donato was last seen near the riverside ruins of the New Concord community, a 19th-century sect with utopian ideals and a rigid devotion to celibacy. Leading efforts to restore New Concord, with the help of a church youth group, is developer Bob Rueger, who, Marty discovers, may have other than historical motives. After Johnny's mauled body is disgorged by the river, two more teens disappear, including Rueger's daughter. Other characters include the intriguing Strand sisters: Nysa, with the voice and looks of an angel; and Vickie, with the "slouch of a girl who'd grown too tall." Also involved is a strange but convincing character named Tor, who prowls the riverbank naked, wearing a bull mask. As the river and the suspense rise to a crescendo, Marty endures watery danger of her own before solving this affecting puzzle.
