The Silence Beneath Blackwater Bridge: A Heaven Murder Mystery (Heaven Murder Mysteries Book 29)

Backwater Bridge rose ahead, old and worn, stretching over the slow, dark river like it had something to prove.Two patrol cars waited along the shoulder.Randy stood near the railing. Steve and Tom were a few feet off, already scanning the area.

Randy looked up as they stepped out.
“Chief.”
“Randy.”
“Didn’t think you’d get your first day back this quick,” Steve said.

“Wouldn’t feel right otherwise,” Derek replied.
Tom nodded once. “Body’s down the embankment. We kept it clean.”
“Appreciate it.”
The path down was narrow, damp from the river’s reach.

Derek moved carefully, Paul just behind him. The smell came first.
