The Victoria Taylor Fiction Collection

A Novel

By Victoria Taylor

Ashmoor is the kind of town where everyone knows everyone—or so they believe.

When Chief Rowan Mercer accepts a position in the quiet mountain town, she expects a fresh start and a peaceful life. Instead, she stumbles upon a decades-old mystery involving two teenage sisters who vanished without a trace in 1992. Their disappearance was never solved, but something far more disturbing lies beneath the official story.

Hidden records. Erased families. Secret archives. A forest that seems to swallow more than people.

As Rowan digs deeper, she uncovers evidence that entire lives have been deliberately removed from history. Photographs have been altered, public records have disappeared, and the townspeople seem to have forgotten people who once stood beside them. Every answer leads to another impossible question, and every step closer to the truth places Rowan in the sights of powerful individuals determined to protect a deadly secret buried beneath the pines.

With time running out and no one left to trust, Rowan must expose a conspiracy that has thrived for generations before she becomes the next name erased from existence.

Filled with chilling suspense, unforgettable twists, hidden conspiracies, and an atmosphere that lingers long after the final page, The Hollow Between Pines is a gripping mystery thriller about memory, deception, and the terrifying cost of burying the truth.

Some secrets are hidden. Others are erased.
