The Stillness of Green Lake (Kayla Brodie New York Murder Mysteries Book 3)
By Vivian Vale
A Kayla Brodie Mystery (Book 3)
When a scientist dies protecting paradise, a photographer must expose the deadly conspiracy before more lives are lost.
Freelance photographer Kayla Brodie thought her assignment at Green Lakes State Park would be simple: capture the extraordinary turquoise waters for Northeast Nature magazine. But when renowned environmental researcher Dr. Marcus Webb is found dead in the very lakes he spent his career protecting, Kayla and her loyal Labrador Nox find themselves drawn into their most dangerous investigation yet.
What appears to be a tragic drowning quickly reveals itself as something far more sinister. Dr. Webb’s groundbreaking research proved that a proposed marina development would destroy the lakes’ unique ecosystem forever—research that someone was willing to kill to suppress.
As Kayla digs deeper, she uncovers:
• A sophisticated corporate conspiracy involving fake consulting firms and falsified scientific data
• Systematic intimidation of environmental researchers across multiple states
• A network of corrupt scientists prostituting their expertise for development money
• Surveillance, sabotage, and murder—all to protect million-dollar profits
But the conspirators aren’t finished. When Kayla’s investigation threatens to expose their crimes, she becomes their next target. With Nox as her faithful partner and Detective Martinez as her ally, Kayla must race to document the truth before the killers silence her permanently.
From the author who brought you the acclaimed Letchworth and Watkins Glen mysteries comes a gripping tale of environmental crime, scientific integrity, and the courage to fight for what’s right—no matter the cost.
