Some secrets are buried in the deep. Others float to the surface.

When private investigator Dan Burnett and his girlfriend, Mia, stumble upon a young woman’s body washed ashore in Mamaroneck, New York, he calls it in to 911 and assumes his responsibilities are over.

But days later, another woman turns up—then another. Each victim shares two things in common: they're all nurses, and they’ve all been found floating in Long Island Sound.

With the entire New York area gripped by an apparent serial killer, and the police scrambling for leads, one victim's desperate parents turn to Dan for answers. He teams up with an old friend, Willy Grant, the NYPD detective assigned to the case.

Together they search for any other link between the young women, and as the death toll rises, Dan uncovers a chilling pattern tied to a dangerous sexual kink—and a prime suspect who vanishes just as the police close in.

Tense, fast-paced, and layered with dark intrigue, Breath Play is a gripping addition to the Dan Burnett Mystery Thriller series—perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Lisa Gardner, and Robert Crais.
