Book Description
Twenty-one years ago, Silas Crowe lost everything.
His wife, Emily, and young daughter, Sophie, were killed in what authorities ruled a tragic highway accident near the small town of Boardman, Oregon. Unable to move on, Silas spends two decades haunted by grief, convinced there is more to the story than anyone is willing to admit.
When a series of brutal murders rocks eastern Oregon, each victim left with a gruesome signature and a cryptic connection to a forgotten institution called Cedar Hollow, old wounds are torn open. As investigators uncover mass graves buried beneath a hillside and decades of corruption hidden behind political power, Silas finds himself pulled into a labyrinth of lies stretching back more than sixty years.
At the center of the mystery lies Cedar Hollow-a youth home where vulnerable children disappeared, powerful men prospered, and secrets were buried alongside the dead.
Joined by Detective Evelyn Hart and the enigmatic survivor Jonah Reed, Silas follows a trail of missing records, hidden archives, and long-forgotten witnesses into the heart of a conspiracy that has shaped generations. But as the truth comes into focus, he discovers the greatest threat isn't the monsters he's been hunting-it's what years of grief and obsession have turned him into.
Dark, atmospheric, and emotionally gripping, FALSE FACE is a suspenseful thriller about memory, corruption, revenge, and the price of truth. As the past rises from its grave, Silas must decide whether exposing evil is worth sacrificing the last pieces of his soul.
Some secrets wear a mask. Others wear a False Face.
