Deadstone: The Mountains Will Remember

By Richard D. Newbold

When the rains fall on Hazel Creek, the bones remember.

In the shadowed hills of Appalachia, the quiet hamlet of Deadstone hides a history no one dares speak aloud-vanished children, buried secrets, and a century-old crime that was never brought to justice. When a hometown boy returns searching for the truth behind townspeople who disappeared without explanation, he discovers a hidden journal filled with chilling confessions from a frontier doctor who witnessed the town's darkest hours.

As he digs deeper, long-buried evidence resurfaces. Whispers of corruption, murder, and a secret society unravel across two timelines-one in the late 1800s as settlers built Deadstone from the mud, and one in the present day where the past refuses to stay dead. The closer the team gets to exposing the truth, the more danger closes in. Someone in Deadstone would kill to keep the town's sins buried forever.

A haunting Southern mystery rich with atmosphere, Deadstone combines history, suspense, and psychological tension. Fog-shrouded forests, hidden graves, forgotten children, and a killer still watching from the trees-this novel grips from the first page and does not let go until justice is served.

Fans of The Devil All the Time, Sharp Objects, and Where the Crawdads Sing will devour this chilling, twist-packed thriller where the past is never truly gone... and the dead are never silent.
