A storm has torn through Alder Falls, but the worst thing it leaves behind is not destruction.
It is a body.
When human remains are discovered beneath disturbed ground near the edge of town, Sheriff Mara Ellison is pulled into a case that should have been forgotten years ago. The victim vanished without explanation, leaving behind unanswered questions, fractured relationships, and secrets people in Alder Falls would rather keep buried.
At first, the investigation appears to point toward an old personal grudge.
Then Mara finds evidence of altered records, suspicious deaths, and a trail leading toward powerful people who have spent years protecting themselves.
The deeper she digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Witnesses change their stories. Evidence disappears. Long trusted residents begin turning on one another. And someone always seems to know what Mara has discovered before she can act on it.
Soon, one terrifying possibility becomes impossible to ignore.
The killer may not be hiding outside the investigation.
The killer may be standing right beside her.
