   Summary

   Blackwater, Maine does not ask questions.
   Detective Carol Sturka chose it for that reason.
   Zosia Borowska never needed to choose.
   When men who threaten Carol begin to disappear, protection turns possessive, justice turns intimate, and love begins to look a lot like violence.
   In Blackwater, someone is always watching.
