The deeper you dig, the darker Pine Hollow becomes. Some secrets don’t stay buried. They bleed. FBI profiler Emily Carter thought Pine Hollow’s lies ended with a single case. She was wrong. When a new murder surfaces with ties to an old cold case - and whispers of military connections - the shadows around the town close in again. Sheriff Oliver Shaw struggles to hold his department together as trust erodes from within. State troopers and FBI agents descend on Pine Hollow, each with their own agenda. And former Navy SEAL Noah Harper finds himself caught between loyalty and survival, hunted by ghosts from his past. As evidence vanishes and alliances fracture, Emily realizes the murders are only part of something larger: a network willing to kill, silence, and rewrite history to protect its secrets. To survive, they’ll have to decide who they can trust, and how much of the truth they’re willing to bring into the light. Hollow of Secrets is the second novel in the Hollow Reckoning trilogy, a dark, atmospheric thriller perfect for fans of Lisa Gardner, Gregg Olsen, and Karin Slaughter.
