The Drowned Man's Debt

Author:Benjamin Banks

Liam isn't just a lifeguard; he's a predator who uses the ocean as his hunting ground. His victims are dismissed as tragic accidents. But his latest prize, an old man lost to the waves, refuses to be forgotten. Now, a bloated, waterlogged specter haunts his every reflection, a silent spectator to his crimes. When Liam tries to erase this ghost by hunting again, he discovers his victim isn't just watching anymore. He's fighting back. The ocean that was once his accomplice has become his judge, and a debt of saltwater and souls must be paid.
