Joffe's free Friday (sometimes weekend) mystery is What Lies Beneath, which is the first in Bill Kitson's Mike Nash series. And Joffe are up to their re-naming tricks again - this was first published as Depth of Despair. There are also a romance (see the Romance thread) and a historical novel (see Fiction - everything else) free at the moment.

Spoiler:

BONES IN THE WATER.

Two skeletons are discovered in Lamentation Tarn, a mountain lake.

Talented detective Mike Nash and his team have little evidence with which to work, until a surprising discovery prompts them to contact law enforcement agencies in Eastern Europe.

A joint task force is formed to uncover a criminal network involved in prostitution, drugs, and human trafficking, but Nash's preoccupation with internal politics, as well as with an attractive Russian detective, proves to be a distraction.

Finally, a young victim escapes the gang's clutches, providing Nash with much needed evidence. A search of the neighboring tarn yields evidence of even more heinous crimes.

Who else will die before the criminals are brought to bitter justice?
