BLOOD IN THE WATER SYNOPSIS - When you discover that you have a missed call from an old friend, Officer Ryan Finch, you almost don’t check the voicemail. You remember what happened the last time you went to Cape Anna and got dragged into a case. When you miss another call from him a few minutes later, you know it must be urgent and decide to listen to the message he left for you. Much to your surprise, Finch is being framed for murder, and, somehow, a shark attack is involved. Apparently, the skill you showed in solving the last Cape Anna crime made you a sort of celebrity around those parts and the only one Finch thought he could turn to in order to clear his good name. A road trip to Cape Anna doesn’t seem like the worst idea, and you decide to head out to the picturesque New England town to help a friend and catch a killer.
With a case like this, you’re going to need a bigger boat. So, grab your sunscreen and fishing pole, and get ready to return to Cape Anna. But, beware! There is Blood in the Water.
