The Shadows We Bury

By J. A. DUGAN

A small-town cold case. A web of lies and betrayal. A journalist risking everything to uncover the truth.

Ethan Cole, a washed-up journalist turned true-crime podcaster, never planned to return to Millhaven, the town he left behind years ago. But when an anonymous tip brings him face-to-face with the 20-year-old disappearance of Sarah Whitmore, a beloved local teacher, he sees a chance to revive his career-and maybe settle some old scores.

As Ethan dives deeper into Sarah's case, he discovers a town haunted by secrets and corruption. The more he uncovers, the clearer it becomes that Sarah's disappearance wasn't random-and the shadows hiding the truth could swallow him whole.

With his podcast gaining attention and threats closing in, Ethan must decide how far he's willing to go to expose the truth. The cost of answers might be higher than he ever imagined.

The Shadows We Bury is a heart-pounding mystery-thriller perfect for fans of small-town intrigue, true crime storytelling, and twist-filled suspense.
