OUT OF THE ASHES
At thirteen years old, Samantha Newsom’s family, including her baby sister, was murdered and their Catskills farmhouse set ablaze in an unsolved crime that left nothing left but ashes.
Twenty-two years later, Sam is pulled back to her hometown of Carney, New York, under the shadows of the grim tragedy she’s never forgotten or forgiven. Authorities mishandled the evidence, false rumors were seeded about her family, suspects yielded nothing, and the case went cold. Not anymore. Not for investigator Travis Meacham, who’s been reassigned to the investigation. He has news for Sam: a prison inmate has come forward with a shocking admission—her sister made it out of the fire--if Sam and Travis can dare to believe him.
It’s not the first reveal that upends everything Sam thinks she knows about the crime and her family. But Carney protects its secrets. And this time, Sam might not be able to escape the town alive.
