A dead influencer. A tight-knit Appalachian town. And a secret worth killing for.
Sharon Braxton writes about food for a living. She travels to places most people only read about, eats things most people will never taste, and leaves before she gets attached. That’s the job. That’s always been the job.
But Harlan County, Kentucky is different.
Sent to cover the annual ramp festival—where wild leeks are harvested from secret hollows and protected by generations of family honor—Sharon arrives with her notebook, her German shepherd Marcus, and every intention of filing her piece and moving on.
Then a young food influencer turns up dead in the flood debris.
What looks like an accidental drowning quickly sours into something far more sinister. Suddenly, Sharon is caught between a fierce, tight-knit community that protects its own and a modern world crashing into ancient hollows. To find the truth, she’ll have to untangle a web of local inheritance, small-town politics, and a history of silence.
This is the first full length novel of the series.
