A missing woman. A body in the ravine. A detective haunted by her past.
When Ruth Turner walks into the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office claiming her sister has been missing for over a month, Detective Megan Carpenter trusts her instincts: something is very wrong.
Megan races to the remote hills of Snow Creek, where she finds the missing woman’s teenage children alone in a secluded farmhouse. No electronics. No contact with the outside world. Nothing about the Wheaton family adds up—and it stirs something buried deep in Megan’s memory… when her own parents vanished without warning.
Then a woman’s body turns up in a deserted pickup truck near the Wheaton home.
Megan is certain the two cases are connected. But to uncover the truth, she must peel back the layers of a chilling, isolated community—and confront the darkness in her own past.
Hidden away in her closet is a box of cassette tapes: thirteen years of therapy, locked away and forgotten. To stop a killer, Megan may have to face the trauma she’s spent a lifetime running from.
