One divorce. Two lies. Three murders. How far will she go to save her daughter?
A small close-knit community surrounded by towering mountains, Colter, Wyoming, is anything but the tourist town it pretends to be. Secrets, superstition, and gossip abound as thirty-year-old Jessa Brady and her daughter, Claire, navigate her eccentric grandmother’s dementia, a contentious divorce, and the notification that her long dead mother is alive, living only hours away. In spite of the turmoil, Jessa forges on, looking forward to starting a new life with her eight-year-old daughter. Liberation is short-lived, when Jessa and the private detective she has hired are both prime suspects in her estranged husband’s murder. Searching through her grandmother’s belongings, Jessa unravels a family history far different from what she has been told, a legacy that puts her and her daughter’s lives on a destructive path. Do her late grandmother’s journals tell an incredible true story or are they the ramblings of an insane woman justifying a series of disappearances, murders, and deception?
Cole James, a private investigator specializing in missing persons, inherits his aunt’s ranch in Colter, Wyoming, at the end of a trying case that ended tragically and unresolved.

Taking Jessa Brady on as a new client soon becomes his focus, until his past collides with his present case, endangering not only his life, but those of Jessa Brady and her daughter Claire.
