The southern Oregon coast provides great recreational activities, unless you go diving with someone who doesn't want you to surface. There are witnesses but no one can say "Who?" or "How?". Their search leads Detectives Patty O'Toole and Rick Starker on a path of lies, deceit, and mortal fear among those who'll say and do anything to save themselves.
