YA Coming of Age Thriller
Charlie Koller thinks back to his childhood as a twelve-year-old boy in the 80s and remembers a simpler rural life. Building tree houses, skinny dipping with your three best friends, community dances, and the thrill of a new girl arriving in town. Hotspur, Texas, is a small, tight-knit community. A girl vanishes from a Dairy farmer’s family reunion, and terror grips the surrounding towns. The crime remained a mystery; her body never found, and a dark shadow loomed over the serene rural community. Years later, 20-year-old Charlie discovers a crime scene and unearths a skeleton on his neighbor’s property. Is old man Adair a killer? As more sinister acts come to light, never in Charlie’s small-town life would he believe he would be that close to touching death.
