A town lost in time. A death that doesn’t add up. A sheriff who won’t let go.
After fleeing Houston’s corruption, Sheriff Miles Johnson finds peace in Ashville, until a violent robbery leads him to Chesterville, a town where criminals surrender without a fight and secrets run deep. When his son dies in a suspicious accident during a restoration project, Miles suspects foul play.
Melody Turnhill, the town’s enigmatic resident, may hold the key, but she’s not talking. As Miles digs into Chesterville’s past, he uncovers guarded librarians, shifting alliances, and a mystery that refuses to stay buried. Grief drives him to the edge, and justice may demand more than he’s willing to give.
A gripping mystery of loss, obsession, and the strange power of a town that protects its own.
