A disgraced detective chasing a missing person finds himself stalked by the ghost of his own grief in a town built on sacrifice.
Miles arrived in Oakhaven hoping its isolation would provide a quiet, administrative escape from the crippling grief of losing his son. Disgraced and barely functional, he accepts the cold case of Elara Vance, a young woman who vanished weeks ago. Miles expects a simple runaway-but Oakhaven is far from simple.
The town is a perfect, insidious façade. Protected by the hostile, secretly alcoholic Deputy Rourke and run by a cabal of Town Elders, Oakhaven is terrified, not of outsiders, but of exposure. The investigation shatters Miles's fragile resolve when he discovers Elara was pregnant at the time of her disappearance. Her case is not a crime of passion; it's an ancient, ritualistic sacrifice known only as The Harvest.
Miles quickly realizes he is fighting an administrative conspiracy orchestrated by Julian Thorne, the town's meticulous and terrifying clerk. Thorne doesn't use guns-he uses paperwork and weaponized compassion. He knows Miles's deepest trauma, accessing the most painful details of his son's death, and uses this knowledge to systematically dismantle Miles's sanity, making him doubt every clue he finds.
With his mental state fracturing, Miles must descend into the black mouth of the Defunct Quarry the site of the ritual-to find the truth. But to expose the terrible secret of Oakhaven and its Ledger of Sacrifice, Miles must risk his life, his career, and the last shred of his sanity against a town that has perfected the art of burying its victims, both alive and dead.
In Oakhaven, the price of prosperity is paid in blood. And this time, Miles is scheduled to pay the ultimate cost.
