In Thunder Creek, the truth doesn't rest in peace. Thunder Creek was always quiet. The kind of town where nothing bad ever really happened. Until two girls died in two weeks. Kate Mercer returns home for her second funeral in fourteen days, drowning in grief and memories she can't escape. Every street, every building, every familiar face reminds her of Becky Turner and Aliyah Brooks - her best friends, her family, her whole world. But the town she comes back to doesn't feel like the one she left. It feels like it's watching her. Some towns hold memories. Thunder Creek holds secrets. The stories about her friends' deaths don't add up. An accident. An illness. A tragedy, everyone says. But the details keep changing. Obituaries contradict news reports. Questions are met with tight smiles and careful silence. It's like the town has agreed on a version of the truth - and buried the real one. Grief brought Kate home. The truth might not let her leave. As sorrow turns to suspicion, Kate realizes something far more terrifying than loss: maybe Becky and Aliyah's stories aren't over. Because in Thunder Creek, when something disappears... It's usually meant to stay that way. And if Kate keeps digging, she might become the next secret the town tries to put to rest.
