Things had yet to return to normal on and around Lake Bennett after the infamous shark situation during the previous summer. Local businesses were suffering. Residents found themselves wanting to move away but couldn't eat the dramatic drop in the property values. Tensions rose as the locals sat on edge. Some believed a shark still roamed the waters of the lake chain. Others wanted to move on with their lives.
DNR Officer Beth Morrison decides to use an opportunity to put two of the potential antagonists together to resolve their differences. Between responding to supposed shark sightings and preparing for the upcoming hunting season, Beth confronts both men and forces them to air out their grievances. Will it result in a truce? Or will it re-invigorate the ongoing feud of the Lake Bennett residents?
The Watershed bridges the gap between Fresh Water (Book 1) and Panthera (Book 2) in the Beth Morrison series.
