All We Keep Buried

When Kiera McKenna’s best friend’s nephew vanishes from a nearby town, the disappearance rocks Kiera’s already crumbling world. Her husband, Pierce, is a powerful newspaper publisher who not only keeps her under his thumb but is also hiding devastating secrets. Complicating matters, her relationship with her adult son is painfully strained.

For Reggie Parks, the disappearance spotlights a past he’s never escaped. Decades earlier, his younger brother went missing, and Reggie had been branded a suspect ever since. Pierce McKenna has never stopped trying to tie Reggie to that old mystery in the public eye, and the bad blood between the two men is no secret. With another boy missing, suspicion and pressure build, and Reggie is targeted once again.

Kiera begins digging into the boy’s disappearance on her own. Her search for clues pulls her deep into other people’s lives—and what they’re trying to hide. What begins as concern for one missing boy grows into a troubling sense that something is very wrong close to home. Because the secrets aren’t buried. They’re just waiting to be found.
