Buried Deep
Maggie and James Cabot have spent twenty years in a marriage that has been close to perfect. Their children have left home, and the two are settling into a quiet Florida suburb. Then two detectives come to the door with news about Hannah Nilsson.
Hannah vanished twenty-five years ago on a camping trip, years before Maggie and James met. Everyone assumed she had wandered off drunk and drowned. Now her remains have turned up, six feet underground and half a mile away from the spot where she was last seen at the campsite. A grave that deep and that placed means murder.
Police reopen the case, and James is the most obvious suspect. Scrutiny settles over the couple's ordinary life, and social media turns them into a target of public attention.
Maggie decides to clear her husband's name herself. She tracks down the friends who were on the camping trip the night Hannah disappeared, and several of them have secrets they want to keep buried. This is a thriller novella, so the questions come quickly and the pages move fast.
