Dead Quiet

Two deaths. One small town. And a secret that won’t stay buried.

When Sheriff Ray Duke finds a burned-out car on a mountain pass, it looks like an accident.

Days later, a former deputy dies in a “single-vehicle crash,” that looks like bad luck. But the scenes don’t match—and someone made sure the most important evidence disappeared.

As the investigation tightens, Duke’s best deputy, Reagan McCoy, realizes her past has followed her to Blue Sky. A restraining order cuts her off from the man she knows is lying, while a smooth corporate fixer offers answers that arrive a little too fast—and point a little too neatly at the wrong suspect.

One death was messy. One was clean. Both were meant to be quiet.

With state investigators closing in and a killer who knows how to make murder look like procedure, Duke has one chance to expose the truth—before the next “accident” ends it for good.
