A Buckner Hollow Thriller
by Jason Yates
When his younger brother turns up dead in an abandoned mine, Eli Cain refuses to accept the official story. What he uncovers in the West Virginia hollows will burn down everything he thought he knew about his family — including his own father.
"The ground remembers what people bury."
When Eli Cain's younger brother turns up dead in an abandoned mine shaft, the county coroner calls it an overdose. Fentanyl and exposure. Case closed.
Eli knows better. Micah was clean — three months sober and scared of something he wouldn't name. A locked phone full of cryptic messages. A friend who won't make eye contact. A deputy who knew about the body before anyone called it in.
Buckner Hollow, West Virginia, is the kind of place where everyone owes someone. The Prater family owns the hardware store, the car lot, the rental houses — and half the county's silence. What Eli finds buried in those mountains will crack the town wide open: illegal waste, poisoned water, and a payroll that reaches back decades. Including a name Eli never expected to see.
His father's.
To get justice for Micah, Eli will have to burn down everything he thought he knew about his family, his home, and the people he trusted most.
Book one of the Buckner Hollow Thrillers — Appalachian noir for readers of S.A. Cosby, William Kent Krueger, and Daniel Woodrell.
