Product Information

Product Description

Seventeen years old. One earbud in. A shortcut she'd taken a hundred times. Then the trail forked — and Abby Stratton was gone.Raven Creek doesn't talk about the old copper mine. Not since 2008, when sixteen-year-old Carrie Dorsey walked the same trail and never came home. The town called it a runaway. The town was wrong.Now Abby — a high-school podcaster who wouldn't stop digging into Carrie's disappearance — has vanished from the exact same spot. And Sheriff Cole Taggart, a man who left the Bureau fifteen years ago with a case he could never close, knows this was no accident.Someone is watching. Someone is leaving warnings — a locket on his cruiser, a note in his mailbox, a bridge cut to swallow him whole. The deeper Cole goes, the more the town closes ranks: a mayor burying a girl who was never found, a logging boss who says the ground opens for a reason, and a mine that, according to the old-timers, doesn't give people back.Because Abby didn't just find Carrie's story.She found the names. And in Raven Creek, some names have been buried for generations.You don't bury the truth in Raven Creek. You feed it.The Girl in the Mine is the pulse-pounding first book in the Raven Creek Files — a small-town Appalachian thriller of buried secrets, complicit silence, and one lawman's refusal to look away. If you love Chris Whitaker, William Kent Krueger, or the slow-burn dread of a town that protects its own, meet your next obsession.100 short, cinematic chapters. Impossible to put down. Perfect for a single haunted weekend. Read more
