About the book
There are some skeletons too big to bury...
Detective Riley Quinn is grappling with the aftermath of a devastating betrayal that has had far-reaching consequences and resulted in many deaths. Trying to regain her composure, Riley struggles to make sense of the turmoil raging within her.
Seeking solace, she turns to Logan, a man still grieving the loss of his wife, which leaves Riley torn about her own emotions towards him. Her peaceful Sunday afternoon is abruptly disrupted by unexpected news - the disappearance of the town's beloved news anchor, Olivia Jones.
As the search party delves into clues found in Olivia's home leading to a nearby hiking trail, a shocking discovery is made beyond the pines. A volunteer comes across a young woman tied to a tree, bearing gruesome stab wounds and unsettling markings, stirring up painful memories for Riley from a previous case that continues to haunt her.
And when another body is unearthed, Riley is unprepared for the chaos and fear that ensues. Strangers lurk in the woods, putting countless lives at risk. In the midst of the sunflower fields, only the perpetrators hold the answers...
