New York Times bestselling author Jason M. Hough dives headfirst
into the world of thrillers with this "gripping...timely, and
entertaining" (Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of the
Iron Druid Chronicles) new tale.
Welcome to Silvertown, Washington. Population 602 (for now).
Despite its size, the small mountain town is home to more conspiracy
theories than any other place in America. Officer Mary Whittaker is
slowly acclimating to the daily weirdness of life here, but when the
chief of police takes a leave of absence, she is left alone to confront
a series of abnormal incidents--strange even by Silvertown standards.
An "indoor kid" who abhors nature dies on a random midnight walkabout
with no explanation.
A hiker is found dead on a trail, smiling serenely after being mauled by
a bear.
A woman known for being a helicopter parent abandons her toddler twins
without a second thought.
It's almost as if the townsfolk are losing their survival instinct, one
by one...
As Whittaker digs deeper into her investigation, she uncovers a larger
conspiracy with more twists and turns than a mountain road and danger
around every corner. To save Silvertown, she must distinguish the truth
from paranoia-fueled lies before she ends up losing her own
instincts...and her life.
