The Eighth Cross
About this ebook
When a massive explosion tears through Dalhart Memorial Hospital, Jacob Croft—the town's newly appointed police chief still haunted by his failed marriage—discovers a cryptic note in the hand of a dying security guard: eight crosses marked on a map, with one circled in red. As Jacob and Rachel race to prevent the remaining seven attacks, they uncover a conspiracy far larger than a single bomber's revenge.

About the author
Holly Harper writes stories that live in the quiet spaces—where shadows gather, where truth fractures, and where the human heart reveals its most fragile architecture. Her work blends gothic atmosphere with psychological precision, crafting narratives that explore the devastating power of silence, the weight of unspoken truths, and the resilience of those who learn to navigate the world's darker corners.
She writes psychological dramas rooted in the haunting intersections of family, perception, and the unspoken. A 44‑year‑old author living in Amarillo, Texas with her husband and three children, Harper brings a deep understanding of emotional nuance to every page she crafts.
She is the creator of the Elara Dalton Series, A Cage Built of Silence, The Silence After, and A Silence Within that pushes the series further into the delicate terrain of truth, trauma, and the echoes that linger long after silence falls.
