Cause of Death by Patricia Cornwell

An investigative reporter is found dead in Virginia's icy waters .....

New Year's Eve and the final murder scene of Virginia's bloodiest tear takes Scarpetta thirty feet below the Elizabeth River's icy surface. A diver, Ted Eddings, is dead, an investigative reporter who was a favourite at the medical examiner's office. Was Eddings probing the frigid depths of the Inactive Shipyard for a story, or simply diving for sunken trinkets? And why did Scarpetta receive a phone call from someone reporting the death before the police were notified?

What happened to the great murder cases? Now it's terrorists and religous fanatics in an unbelievable plot. The ending was weak and felt rushed.
