Owen Stanford isn't a man who does things on a whim, so when the notion strikes him to drive over 200 miles to a place he's never been before, he wonders if madness isn't far off. The minute he steps foot in the small community, he knows he's not welcome. The mountains don't want him there. Their secrets want to remain untouched and buried. The people don't want him there. Bloodlines run deep and outsiders aren't to be trusted, especially when they start asking too many questions that only the dead can answer.
