Toes Up, Toes Down

By: Fountaine, Neil Edwin

In the quiet town of Morris, Minnesota, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
Two years after a young woman is found dead near the river, the town has settled comfortably into the belief that it was nothing more than a tragic accident. Life moved on. The whispers faded. The truth stayed buried, deep under snow, silence, and fear.
Until now.
A stolen crop duster, a panicked young man, and a string of strange coincidences drag Sheriff Jody Santana into a case she never expected to reopen. As she follows the threads through backroom secrets, small-town scandals, and long-simmering grudges, a more sinister picture emerges, one involving a powerful family, a buried crime, and a truth no one wants to face.
When the first crack appears, the whole façade of Morris begins to crumble. Loyalties split. Old guilt resurfaces. Innocence and guilt blur into a terrifying gray.
Jody must navigate a maze of half-truths, broken trust, and community pressure to uncover the real story behind Lila Trent's death, and the hidden dangers lurking beneath the town's calm surface.
In a place where justice comes slow and secrets move faster, every choice has a cost... and some truths refuse to stay buried.
