"e;Hackel, it's about time you got here. We got a report of a floater in the river."e;Robert Hackel s morning couldn t have started off worse. The veteran Elk County Detective was recovering from an awful weekend and a nasty migraine, and now this. Corpses are one thing floating corpses are something else entirely. Working with Sara Garcia, the rookie County Coroner, Hackel sets out to discover whether the victim is truly a victim or just a victim of circumstance. The journey leads from the Snake River region of southwestern Idaho to northern Montana and down to Nevada, where Hackel learns about his victim and finds details about his own history that he never wanted to know.
