The River Thames has a dark secret, and it's not just the murky waters that lurk beneath its surface. Every year, the river gives up its dead, and Detective Inspector Leo George is on the case to find out who is responsible for these gruesome murders. The victims are all young and fit, and they have one thing in common: they were all caught swimming in the upper reaches of the Thames.

As Leo investigates, he discovers that the killer is picking off his victims in a methodical and calculated way, using the river's natural beauty as a cover for his crimes. He soon realizes that the killer is not just targeting swimmers, but anyone who has dared to venture into the river's hidden corners.

The case takes Leo into the path of Jess Bridges, a private investigator who lives life on the edge. Jess is a former police officer who has turned her back on the force after a traumatic experience, and she is now using her skills to help Leo solve the case. Jess is a tough and determined woman who is not afraid to take risks, and she quickly becomes an invaluable ally to Leo.

As they investigate the murders, Leo and Jess discover that the killer is using a book on secret wild swimming spots to plan his attacks. The book has become a social media celebrity, and its author, Jago Jackson, is a suspect in the case. However, Leo and Jess soon realize that Jago is not the killer himself. He is a victim of the killer's twisted game, and he is in grave danger.

Leo and Jess must race against time to catch the killer before he strikes again. They navigate through the river's treacherous currents, dodging obstacles and avoiding traps, as they piece together the clues that will lead them to the killer's lair. Along the way, they encounter a cast of characters, including Jago's ex-girlfriend, a local gangster, and a mysterious woman who claims to have seen the killer in action.

In the end, Leo and Jess are able to catch the killer and bring him to justice. They learn that the killer was motivated by a desire for revenge and a hatred for the river and its secrets. Leo and Jess are hailed as heroes, and their partnership is celebrated as a shining example of what can be achieved when people work together to solve a crime.
