Out of the Deep I Cry

Julia Spencer-Fleming's third mystery featuring Rev. Clare Fergusson and Sheriff Russ Van Alstyne is set in the small town of Millers Kill, N.Y. As the small town's gossip increasingly speculates about Rev. Clare Fergusson's ambiguous relationship with the married sheriff, a more urgent problem arises: the disappearance of the doctor of Millers Kill's free clinic, a town institution with roots in events from the 1920s and 1930s.

Digging into the roots of these disturbing happenings, Russ and Clare find that painful events from the town's past can still roil the peace of Millers Kill.
