A missing-persons case turns deadly when influencers enter the Louisiana bayou in this thriller from the Edgar Award-nominated author of On a Quiet Street.

Some disappearances are tragedies. Others are warnings.

Macy and Ethan built their careers pursuing the unknown, turning their YouTube channel, Ghost Patrol, into a viral sensation as they investigated the paranormal. But when they wade into the murky depths of the Louisiana bayou—looking into the disappearances of two local women—alongside team members Tasha and Max, their latest case takes a lethal turn.

What begins as a routine hunt for answers quickly spirals into something far more sinister. Shadows move where they shouldn't. Secrets surface where none should exist. And when Macy stumbles upon a horrifying truth, she realizes they were never just chasing a story; they were lured here for a reason. As the swamp closes in and the line between hunter and hunted blurs, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: some secrets are better left buried.

Blending slow-burn suspense with sharp twists in a masterclass of psychological tension, bestselling author Seraphina Nova Glass's The Swamps is a chilling mystery that's perfect for fans of None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell and Beneath Devil's Bridge by Loreth Anne White.
