The unexpected death of client Edgar Henry doesn't prevent detective Gray Hollowell, the hero of Dixie Browning's Undertow, from investigating the possible murder of Edgar's wife, Roxie, which occurred nearly 27 years ago. As Gray's investigation brings him into contact with the clannish Henry family, he becomes enamored with Edgar's fiercely independent daughter, Mariah. The undercurrent of romantic tension between Mariah and Gray is almost tangible, though their relationship rolls into trite territory when she goes boating with her cousin despite Gray's repeated warnings and he's forced to rescue her. While it's unclear how Gray solves the decades-old mystery surrounding Roxie's death, the conclusion is a stunner.
