***** Death and Life —— Review by Rox Burkey
Ms. Towles builds a world of epic proportions involving underwater shipwrecks, treasure, and whispers from Genevieve Lucas, with Kurt Farin in the center. Detective Kurt Farin, a former doctor and diver, is in a coma following a near-fatal gunshot that resulted in him cracking his skull. His daughter Brooke stays by his side, hearing his delusional outbursts. Traumatized, Kurt’s mind drifts as he experiences bizarre sensations, including deep-sea diving without equipment and finding a woman caught under a sunken ship. The woman calls to him and feels real. Awakening from the coma, he suffers from light sensitivity, headaches, and a compulsion to find the woman. His partner and best friend Detective Vaughn listens to Kurk as he shares his visions.
Kurt is convinced that the answers are in Puget Sound and travels there with Vaughn. He discovers a shipwreck related to Genevieve, but she’s dead. He’s confused about why she’s talking to him, but he vows to help. That promise takes Kurt on a frightening journey while recovering from the trauma to his brain and body. Can he recover? Will he get his life back or be forever changed? Gripping tight to a questionable reality, Kurt is uncovering clues in a complex case that spans decades and threatens his life for unknown reasons.
