In the quiet, sun-scorched town of Crescent Bluff, West Texas, the past doesn’t stay buried — it waits. It waits in dusty corners, behind knowing eyes, and in the secrets no one dares to speak aloud.
When the body of a boy is found clutching the skin of a hare’s head — a gruesome echo of a murder from two decades ago — suspicion immediately turns to Willis Newland. He’s the man who went to prison for the first killing. The man who just walked out. And the man everyone knows is guilty.
But Detective Colly Newland isn’t convinced. Reluctantly drawn back into the heart of her late husband’s hometown — and his complicated, secret-ridden family — Colly agrees to investigate. What she uncovers is far more disturbing than she ever expected.
In a place where everyone knows everyone, no one is truly innocent.
With each step closer to the truth, Colly finds herself unraveling a tightly wound web of deception, legacy, and pain. And someone in Crescent Bluff will do whatever it takes to keep their secrets safe — even if it means killing again.
Dark, atmospheric, and razor-sharp, The Killing Plains grips from the first page and never lets go. If you think you know how small towns work, think again.
