About What They Buried

Thirteen years ago, crime reporter Natalie Sloane’s parents were murdered while chasing a story no one wanted told. The police called it a robbery gone wrong. Natalie never believed them. Now a crime reporter herself, Natalie is trying to move forward after surviving a nightmare of her own. She’s finishing a book about the serial killer who held her captive, determined to turn her trauma into something useful. Something controlled. Then a teenager is found dead. The location is too familiar. The details are too close to the night her parents died. And when Natalie starts asking questions, she uncovers the first thread of a story her mother may have been chasing before she was killed. A youth center. A promising student. A death no one wants to look at too closely. The deeper Natalie digs, the more the past begins to feel terrifyingly alive. Someone knows what her parents found. Someone knows what happened that night. And someone is watching to make sure Natalie doesn’t uncover the truth they died trying to tell. But Natalie has spent thirteen years living with questions. This time, she’s not waiting for answers. A gripping thriller about buried secrets, old lies, and a crime reporter who refuses to let the truth stay dead - perfect for fans of Charlie Donlea, Frieda McFadden, and Lisa Regan.
