We Have to Know

By Tom Monson

Harv Waters thought retirement would bring peace. After decades as a small-town cop, he was ready to trade in the badge for quiet mornings with his old dog and afternoons tinkering in his garage. But peace is hard to come by when your past won't let go. Harv's haunted by a chunk of missing time-hours he can't explain from an incident years ago, a foggy memory that left him with strange dreams and a scar he doesn't remember getting.

Zoe Price, a sharp-tongued, no-nonsense ex-cop with her own baggage, isn't looking for answers-she's spent years running from them. But when her path crosses Harv's in the otherwise uneventful town of Mount Shasta, their shared experience of "lost time" draws them together. Neither of them can explain it, but both know it's more than coincidence.

Determined to uncover the truth, Harv and Zoe begin digging into the town's oddities-rumors of UFO sightings, unexplained disappearances, and whispers of government agents who always seem one step ahead. The deeper they investigate, the stranger things get. Mount Shasta holds secrets that stretch far beyond the town itself, and the more they uncover, the more dangerous their journey becomes.

As Harv and Zoe connect the dots between their missing memories and the town's dark past, they'll have to confront their own fears and question everything they thought they knew. What they find will force them to face an unthinkable truth: the answers they're searching for might not just change their lives but threaten their very existence.

Fast-paced, suspenseful, and packed with twists, We Have to Know is a gripping tale of mystery, conspiracy, and courage. Harv and Zoe's story will take you on a journey through the unknown, where small-town secrets collide with forces far beyond comprehension.

Perfect for fans of suspenseful thrillers, small-town mysteries, and the unexplainable, this novel will keep you turning pages late into the night.
