Suspense | Mystery
βIf Iβd blinked, I would have missed it. But I didnβt, and I saw something fall from the rear deck of the opposite ferry: a small, wide-eyed human face, in one tiny frozen moment, as it plummeted toward the water.β When she witnesses a small child tumbling from a ferry into Lake Champlain, Troy Chance dives in without thinking. Harrowing moments later, she bobs to the surface, pulling a terrified little boy with her. As the ferry disappears into the distance, she begins a bone-chilling swim nearly a mile to shore with a tiny passenger on her back. Β Β Β Β Surprisingly, he speaks only French. Heβll acknowledge that his name is Paul; otherwise, heβs resolutely mute. Β Β Β Β Troy assumes that Paulβs frantic parents will be in touch with the police or the press. But what follows is a shocking and deafening silence. And Troy, a freelance writer, finds herself as fiercely determined to protect Paul as she is to find out what happened to him. What she uncovers will take her into a world of wealth and privilege and heedless self-indulgenceβa world in which the murder of a child is not unthinkable. Sheβll need skill and courage to survive and protect her charge and herself.Β Β Β Β Β Sara J. Henryβs powerful and compelling Learning to Swim will move and disturb readers right up to its shattering conclusion.
