They Were Never Gone: Sarah Mercer Book Five

By E J Mercer

The dead should stay buried.
But some never truly leave.

For years, Detective Sarah Mercer has relied on evidence, instinct, and experience to solve the toughest cases.
But some mysteries refuse to be explained.

When a disturbing investigation uncovers secrets that should have stayed buried, Sarah finds herself facing events that defy logic. The deeper she digs, the more impossible the truth becomes.

People long thought gone begin to cast shadows over the present, and the line between reality and the unknown starts to blur.

As danger closes in, Sarah must decide whether to trust the facts she's always relied on or believe in something she never thought could exist.
Because some things were never gone. They were never gone is the gripping fifth instalment in the Sarah Mercer Files, where crime, mystery and the impossible collide for the first time.
