Some ghosts never leave the snow.

On the frozen fields of Starston, Kansas in 1862, Thomas Jenson rode in before dawn and ordered a massacre that left ninety-seven bodies frozen where they fell. The church burned. The town was devastated.

Over a century later, history graduate student Peter Draker arrives in the same town chasing a ghost. What he uncovers is impossible: the massacre wasn't random. It was personal. And the man who started it never truly left.

As Peter digs into the past, the present begins to bleed. A returning son with blood on his hands. A mother fighting to protect her child from a new kind of evil. Developers carving up the prairie. Militia men sharpening old grudges. And a new spin on chaos theory - in which human beings serve as strange attractors and history repeats in vicious, invisible cycles.

In The Heart Lands, Yale Law graduate and practicing family-law attorney Richard L. Becker does what he does best: expose the absurdity and corruption that hides in plain sight. This is no dry historical recounting. This is a raw, page-turning literary thriller where innocence collides with immorality - and someone always pays the price.

Because the past doesn't stay buried in the Heart Lands. It waits for the next rider.
