Evil lurks below the surface. Thirty years ago, the town of Peace Falls was flooded to build a hydroelectric dam. To this day, its ruins remain below the surface of Chapel Lake-including the church, miraculously undamaged after all these years, its steeple visible above the water. When his younger sister's body is found washed up on the shore, Owen Saddler follows in her footsteps to the cabin she'd rented on Chapel Lake, diving among the ruins below the surface. Soon he's caught up in a decades-old mystery of the religious mania that divided the town in the late-'70s, and the sudden disappearance of Reverend Crouch and several of his parishioners-a mystery the citizens of Chapel Lake had hoped would stay submerged beneath the water, in the ghost town below. **Praise for Salvage** "A quietly-unnerving ghost story with a strong element of mystery behind it." - DLS Reviews "Beautifully written with realistic characters and a plot that keeps you hanging on until the very end." - Chad Clark, author of The Curse of Worthwood Castle "Something I could easily see penned by Stephen King." ★★★★★ Review "A fantastic debut novel." ★★★★★ Review

Ren Silyano, a zoo veterinary assistant, is slowly beginning to recover from a profound personal loss when he comes across an emptied grave and its empty coffin - and is suddenly confronted with an incomprehensible reality.Before he can react, he wakes up at home with no memory of the event other than a half-forgotten "dream" haunting him. He goes to work only to discover he's "missing" a day. His best friend, the cemetery's caretaker, can't help. He's missing a corpse from a police exhumation and his wife claims her dead twin sister is now "gone". In the process of trying to find answers, they soon meet someone else who is also searching for someone. With time and events seemingly out of control, difficult choices have to be made. Love, happiness - our very "self" and maybe even immortality may be defined not by our ability to hold onto these misty concepts - but to have any real meaning - that they are Not Ours To Keep.
