Publisher's Synopsis
"The boots walking across the boards were slow, methodical, searching..."
Thirty bodies.
Thirty reasons for guilt.
Thirty years to wait for the truth.
It was never just a kidnapping...
It's been years since ex-detective Will Davidson investigated anything other than an empty bottle. Grieving the death of his wife, he's spent years drinking away his sorrow. Covering up his secret...
But his past comes clawing back when the death of his father brings him home to the rural town he escaped as a teen.
Home to the infamous Wonder Valley Massacre of the sixties, Nowhey is a town that has been ignoring its past far too long. When a new batch of bodies begins appearing, Senior Sergeant Pete Davidson does everything in his power to protect everyone he loves. Until his apparent suicide.
Then the kidnappings occur.
As the bones of the massacre grasp for him, Will can't help but get caught in the storm thirty years in the making.
He may have retired, but this isn't just another investigation, this is his father's death.
A death that was only the beginning of something else...
The true crime wasn't the thirty bodies of the commune being discovered,
It was that the real secret had only just begun.
