About Black Water Falls

One wrong turn. One deranged man. No way out. Tess Wright was only supposed to be passing through Bleakwater Falls. After discovering her fiancé’s affair with her best friend, Tess drives inland through California fire country, telling everyone she needs time offline. When her old Subaru breaks down outside a faded desert town, a local tow-truck driver named Walter Pike stops to help. He seems kind. Capable. Safe. Then he takes her home. Tess wakes chained to a bed in Walter’s remote ranch house. Walter is convinced she is his missing wife, returned after years away. Correcting him only makes him dangerous. Playing along might keep her alive. But the more Tess learns about Elena, the more she realizes Walter’s story is full of holes. Tess has spent her life recording other people’s truths. Now she must survive long enough to uncover her own. And Tess is about to discover there is no escape from a man who thinks he loves you… Blackwater Falls is a dark, claustrophobic psychological thriller about captivity, obsession, and a woman forced to become someone else to survive.
