A dead girl's voice is bleeding through the static. And in Raven Creek, the dead don't stay buried - they get replayed.
When a storm knocks out the power across Raven Creek, an old ham-radio operator catches something impossible on the airwaves: a terrified girl begging for help, her voice threaded through twenty-one years of silence. Sheriff Cole Taggart knows that voice. It belongs to Lila Hayes - the fifteen-year-old who vanished from a lakeside summer camp in 2004 and was never found.
Now another girl is missing. Ruby Lewis walked into the same woods on a ghost hike and didn't come back. And the broadcast has changed: two voices now, one long dead, one still breathing - layered together like someone is teaching the living girl to become the lost one.
As Cole, forensic nurse June Taggart, and podcaster Abby Stratton follow the signal into the ridges above the lake, they uncover a network of hidden repeaters, a bunker built like a shrine, and a deacon who never stopped recording. Someone spent two decades keeping a murdered girl's voice alive - and keeping the whole town quiet.
But the deeper Cole digs, the closer it circles to him. To the summer of 2004. To the case he walked away from. To a mayor who wants it buried and a name the town swore never to say again.
Because in Raven Creek, silence was always the loudest thing of all.
You don't bury the truth in Raven Creek. You broadcast it.
The second Raven Creek Files novel - a small-town Appalachian thriller of buried secrets, complicit silence, and a lawman who refuses to stop listening. For readers of Chris Whitaker, William Kent Krueger, and anyone who loves a town with a body count and a conscience. 100 short, cinematic chapters - built to devour in a single stormy night.
