Even in Darkness
is the fifth book in the High Water series and blends contemporary mystery and suspense, dramatic situations, and high adventure that both boys and girls aged 12+ love.
While diving in Rockport Harbor, Parker Buckman makes a terrifying discovery. Haunting enough to keep him out of the water. His best friend, Harley, has his own dilemma-and needs Parker's help. Meeting Harley halfway won't cut it. Parker will need to be all in-which can only mean trouble.
Harley Lotitto is in more danger than anyone realizes. His Uncle Ray has cornered him into secretly finding recordings he'd hidden-before going to prison. Evidence powerful enough to get Ray out of jail-and put a worse man behind bars. If Harley succeeds, Quinn Lochran will get multiple life sentences. Lochran has a dark plan to make sure that evidence never sees the light of day. Ray's 'get-out-of-jail' ticket might just become Harley's death warrant-and Parker's too.
Jelly and Ella know the boys are up to something. They want to help-but unless the boys open up-they feel powerless to do a thing. They have a feeling that the boys are going to need all the help they can get. . . and they're right. These friends have survived deadly situations together before. But this time escape seems more hopeless than ever. What do you do when you're surrounded by darkness. . . and dawn will never get there in time?
