A buried body. A century-old diary. A secret worth killing for.

When a cave-in on a Colorado mountain uncovers a mummified body, journalist Jalyn Walker expects a career-making story for the Durango Herald. Instead, she finds herself hunted by ruthless men determined to keep the truth buried. The discovery was made by her husband, Adam—and now both are in danger.

As threats mount and the investigation grows more perilous, Jalyn joins forces with Detective Dustin McCall. Jalyn races to uncover the identity of the body and the meaning of the drugs found alongside it. The deeper she digs the more it becomes clear, this mystery didn’t start in the present—it began more than a hundred years ago. Faith, courage, and perseverance uphold her on a trail leading her far deeper than anyone expected.

The key may lie in a forgotten diary written in 1911 by Jalyn’s great-grandmother, Estelle Sullivan. Through her intimate journal entries, Estelle reveals a terrifying ordeal—forced at gunpoint into a dangerous heist, her injured mother and infant child used as leverage to ensure her obedience. When a violent storm turns into a deadly flood, survival depends on unwavering faith, sacrificial love, and the belief that God’s hand is still at work—even in the darkest moments.

Two women. Two timelines. One deadly secret.

Perfect for readers who enjoy the suspense of Colleen Coble and Dani Pettrey, paired with the generational depth of Terri Blackstock and the historical emotion of Francine Rivers.
