Della Fenn confessed to killing her father when she was nineteen. She served her time and said nothing. Now she's come home to claim the four hundred acres nobody thought she'd outlive to inherit - the best water on the good side of the valley, and the last place in Hollister Fork anyone wanted her back.
Then the spring thaw opens the ground near the old Fenn corner, and gives back a body that has been there far longer than her father has been dead.
Sheriff Cassidy Mara married into this town; she never learned the story everyone else grew up believing. So she's the only one who looks twice at a woman the county filed away decades ago with two careless sentences - and the only one willing to ask what the whole town agreed, long ago, not to wonder about.
Della isn't talking. The town wants the body to be a stranger's. And the closer Cassidy gets to a name, the clearer it becomes that some crimes never went to trial because everyone was in on the silence.
The ground gives back what the cold kept. Hollister Fork is about to learn what it buried.
The Ground She Owns is the fourth Hollister Fork novel - a slow-burn small-town thriller for readers of William Kent Krueger, Jane Harper, and Paul Doiron. Each book stands alone.
