Down River — Stephen Gallagher

JOHNNY MAYS, IMAGINE THE MORAL CONSCIENCE OF A SELFISH CHILD IN THE FRAME OF A PLAIN -- CLOTHES COP. THE CITY: HIS PLAYGROUND. WE, THE CITY-DWELLERS, HIS TOYS.
AND JOHNNY NEVER HAD A TOY HE DIDN'T BREAK.

But now Johnny's dead, isn't her? He started something and pushed it too far. Now they're fishing for his body at the foot of a dam and Nick Frazier has been left behind.

They'd been friends once, a long time ago. Nick had even hoped he might save Johnny. But by Johnny's reckoning, Nick had betrayed him.

As Nick goes looking for answers, people start dying -- dying in a sequence that is leading straight back to Nick Frazier. And when they haul Johnny's car -- his empty car -- from the lake, the truth becomes clear, Johnny Mays is back. And he's baying at the moon.
