Return to Maidenwell—where digging up the past can be murder.
In the quaint Oregon village of Maidenwell, Gina Biletti's life takes an unexpected turn when human bones are unearthed at a construction site. This chilling discovery resurrects old stories about the Yeechee cult, which had occupied the village during the late 1980s. The cult was not only tied to some still-unsolved crimes but was also rumored to be on the hunt for a fabled Gold Rush-era treasure.
Charged by her secretive boss Matthias Loneskum with unearthing the truth about the bones before the media starts sniffing around, Gina once again finds herself thrust into the role of amateur sleuth.
Yet, as she digs deeper, it's clear that the treasure the Yeechee were after is more than mere legend—and that someone is willing to kill for it. Can Gina solve the mystery before the whispers of the past demand her silence—permanently?
Get ready for a suspenseful, fast-paced journey filled with humor, heart, and more twists and turns than Gina's well-used wine corkscrew.
