The Deep End (A Short Story)

As a reluctant favor to his cousin, Orange County Sheriff’s Deputy “Schmitty” Schmidt attends a snazzy fundraiser at an exclusive waterfront home on Lido Isle in Newport Beach. But it’s not what he bargained for when he finds a drowning man in the pool and has to jump into action. It turns out that there’s a killer on the loose at the party and Schmitty goes on a personal mission to figure out who it is before he disappears.
