The Things We Bury (The Emma Carter Mysteries)($16.99Value)

Description

Some secrets are buried deep. Others hunt you from the shadows. FBI Special Agent Emma Carter spent fifteen years running from Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom—a place of dense forests, deep waters, and the ghost of her cousin Madison, who vanished into the woods without a trace. But when a new string of disappearances mirrors the nightmare of her childhood, Emma is forced back into the town she once fled. Teaming up with Noah—the partner she left behind and the only man who still shares her ghosts—Emma plunges into a community bound by a decades-old vow of silence. The trail is chillingly precise, full of traps, abandoned cabins, and shallow graves. When Emma discovers a torn notebook hidden by a previous victim, the truth begins to click into place: these women weren't just random targets. They were hunted by someone who knows the town’s secrets, someone highly charismatic, hiding behind a mask of untouchable authority. With grieving families demanding justice and time running out, Emma and Noah must navigate the dark woods to expose a monster who has ruled the region for over two decades. But in the Kingdom, the truth isn’t just hidden—it’s fiercely protected. As the shadows close in, Emma realizes she isn’t just tracking a predator. He’s already waiting for her.
