Jake Merren

A missing file. A hunted witness. A murder that was never meant to be solved.

Detective Jake Merren discovers the mysterious file of Alan Wade-only to find that the crucial documents are missing.

Shortly afterward, a terrified young woman hides in the back seat of his car. She claims to be Alan Wade and appears to be running from someone who knows her every move.

Before Jake can get answers, she disappears again.

A dark blue car follows him. His apartment is broken into. A colleague is murdered in cold blood. And while Jake's own police chief keeps steering him toward new leads, Jake begins to realize that someone has been controlling his investigation from the very beginning.

The trail leads to a woman who supposedly died in a tragic accident in her own swimming pool-and to a secret people are still willing to kill to protect.

Who can Jake trust when even the next clue may be part of the trap?

Dead in the Pool is a gripping police thriller about a missing witness, a corrupt investigation, and a conspiracy reaching into the highest ranks of law enforcement.
