Publisher's Summary

School is out and summer has begun. For 11 year old Timmy Quinn and his best friend Pete Marshall, the dreary town of Delaware, Ohio becomes a place of magic, hidden treasure and discovery. But on the day they encounter a strange young boy sitting on the bank of Myers Pond, a pond playground, rumor saying it may hide turtles the size of Buicks changes everything.

For it soon becomes apparent that dark secrets abound in the little community, secrets which come cupped in the hands of the dead, and in a heartbeat, Timmy and Pete's summer of wonder becomes a season of terror, betrayal and murder.

An immersive tale

Kealan P. Burke is a master of detail. I found the way he paints with his words to be strikingly imaginative & oft times dashed in hint of whimsy for good measure.
The narrator did a wonderful job of performing Burke's story of a young boy discovering the local pond's unsavory secrets. And in true fashion of Burke's genre, you will hold the disquiet of his vision in your head for a while.
