The Podcast from Coldwater Lake: A Gripping Psychological Thriller

He came to the lake to rebuild his life. Instead, he unburied a nightmare. Elias Crane used to be the biggest name in true-crime podcasting, until a catastrophic mistake ruined his career and cost an innocent man his life. Bankrupt and disgraced, Elias retreats to a derelict lake house in the isolated, freezing town of Coldwater, hoping for a quiet place to hide. Instead, he finds a secret hidden beneath his bedroom floorboards. Five years ago, Eleanor Voss walked into the freezing waters of Coldwater Lake. The town called it a tragic suicide. But the diary Elias pulls from the floorboards tells a different story. One of a deeply patient, terrifyingly kind husband who weaponizes isolation and silence. Armed with his recording gear and a desperate need for redemption, Elias begins to broadcast the truth, episode by episode, to a rapt audience. But Elias isn't just telling a story. He is drawing the attention of a killer who has spent thirty years erasing women without leaving a single trace. A killer who has never left Coldwater. A killer who is sitting across the lake right now, listening to Elias's every word. As a brutal winter storm seals the town off from the rest of the world, Elias realizes he is no longer just investigating a cold case. He is the new prey.
