The river gave up the Buick at 6:14 in the morning.
When a dredge crew pulls a 1987 Buick from the Detroit River-reported stolen in 1989, with the body of executed building inspector Daniel Pryce in the trunk-MCU's newest detective Zoe Reyes catches the case. In the dead man's files: a letter in her late mentor's father's hand, naming Pryce, dated 1988.
The deeper Zoe digs, the clearer it becomes: the car, the body, and a condemned church standing in the path of a $400 million development are threads of the same machine-one that has been swallowing people and neighborhoods since 1989. And the machine has noticed her.
What the River Keeps is the second Detroit Major Crime Unit novel-a story about what a city buries, what it can't, and the detective willing to stand in the water until it gives up the truth.
