Ponderosa Pines used to be the safest place on earth.
Lately, best friends Chloe LaRue and EV Torrence are starting to wonder if their formerly sleepy town has caught a ride in a handbasket—with a one-way ticket to someplace hot.
When local attorney Stacey Hawthorne is brutally attacked and left for dead just inside the town limits, Chloe and EV are once again pulled into an investigation no one asked them to run—but no one else seems eager to finish. As rumors spread and tensions rise, it quickly becomes clear that the attack is only the beginning.
Digging deeper exposes secrets some of their neighbors would do anything to keep buried. One of them has a past that’s about to come roaring back—and when it does, the fallout threatens to tear Ponderosa Pines apart.
With danger closing in, loyalties tested, and the truth proving harder to untangle than ever, Chloe and EV must uncover what’s really going on before the next secret turns deadly.
