They thought their past was buried. They were wrong.
FBI Agent Daniel Chasing is no stranger to cold cases or small-town secrets. But when a string of young men's mysterious deaths start cropping up across Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, it's clear this isn't just another unsolved puzzle. Each victim-bright, promising college students-disappeared after a night out with friends, only to be found dead in remote areas days later. The only clue? A cryptic letter sent to local newspapers with nothing but a red stickman scrawled across it.
The investigation turns personal for Daniel as disturbing echoes of his past begin to emerge. Two years ago, he closed the case on the death of his best friend, Tommy Lang, in their hometown of Pine Ridge, Colorado. Now, that case and these new murders seem to be intertwined by more than coincidence.
With his partner, Emily Hughes, and an eager but volatile rookie by his side, Daniel follows a trail that leads him back to a brotherhood of powerful men-fathers who share a dark secret. What these men did in their youth is coming back to haunt them in the most gruesome way possible, and their sons are paying the price.
But time is running out. The killer knows Daniel is close, and as the bodies stack up, so does the pressure. Will Daniel be able to unearth the truth before more innocent lives are lost? Or will the sins of the fathers remain hidden beneath layers of lies, sealed in blood?
Chasing: The Boys is a gripping, page-turning thriller about secrets, vengeance, and the high cost of buried sins. When the past comes calling, no one is safe.
