About Beside the Dead

Harrison Troyer has been a ghost for over a decade...his future silenced by the threat of prison. But now, the secrets that haunted him can no longer remain buried. Now living in the shadows as a private investigator in Alaska, Harrison is sent to Evergreen Falls, Maine, to find a desperate mother's missing daughter. But when a terrified woman stumbles into his remote hideaway in the North Woods of Maine, pleading for his help to escape a killer, his fragile anonymity shatters. Eden's story of survival is harrowing--and eerily connected to a case Harrison is chasing. As they team up to unravel her abduction, Harrison realizes Eden may hold not only the key to exposing a dangerous predator but also answers to his missing persons. Deputy Sheriff Samantha Baker is relentless in her search for answers about her sister Mae's disappearance twenty-three years ago. When Eden's escape mirrors Mae;s case and another missing woman, Sam suspects the same monster has returned to prey on Evergreen Falls. Forced into an uneasy alliance with law enforcement, Harrison and Eden plunge into a chilling web of lies, secrets, and deadly tuths. With each step cloesr to justice, the lines between their hunt for the killer and their fight for survival blur. And as their growing bond threatens to thaw hearts long frozen by grief, they must face the final question: can they stop a killer before the past destroys them both?
