A MISSING GIRL.
A NORTHERN TOWN.
A SINISTER TRUTH CLAWING ITS WAY OUT OF THE THAW.
Fleeing a scandal that could destroy her career, sociologist Julia Saint Hilaire accepts a summer teaching post in Fort Parry, a middle-of-nowhere town above the treeline in Manitoba. She expects mosquitoes, endless sunlight, and an isolated spot to disappear until the rumors back home die down. Instead, she encounters Holly Robin, the town's missing bad girl, presumed dead for six months.
No one has seen Holly since the night she vanished-at least not in the flesh. As her ghost sighting grows into an obsession, Julia becomes increasingly haunted while trapped in a town bound by silence, superstition, and fear. Holly's diary reveals hints of blood magic, old folklore, and something lingering in the backwoods. But Fort Parry protects its secrets, even if its dead refuse to rest. Now, as mental blackouts, threats from locals, and visions of death close in, Julia must uncover what really happened to Holly on the night she disappeared...before the same cold fate claims her next.
Set in a subarctic landscape of buried violence and restless spirits, The Maddening of Holly Robin is a chilling northern gothic mystery about lies, obsession, and the terrible cost of waking what should have stayed sleeping beneath the frost.
