Overview

A dead tree. A dead podcaster. A desert that remembers everything. Claire Caldwell was ready for wedding planning, not another corpse. But when her fiancé's vet call takes them down a lonely road outside Perdido Springs, Rusty blocks their path and leads them straight to Broken Acres, a long abandoned farmhouse with a twisted tree locals call the Wither. Beneath its dead branches lies Craig Dooley, better known to his listeners as Stone Coldwell, the loudmouthed host of The Cold Files. He came chasing ghosts, chasing fame, chasing the thrill he'd lost... and now he is the newest spirit the desert refuses to forget. His unhinged ex turns up screaming and clawing at the body, a will is found in the dirt, and two siblings are suddenly at each other's throats over a secret fortune that should have died with their father. Then the whispers start. A grieving woman in old fashioned clothes begs Claire to help the man she has waited a hundred years to see, and the Wither's shadow seems to sink into everyone nearby, feeding paranoia, greed, and old resentments until even the living feel haunted. Claire has solved murders before, but this one is different... because Sam is watching, and he is finally noticing the things Claire has been hiding. To catch a killer, Claire will have to face what waits under the Wither. And she might have to tell her fiancé the truth... before the desert takes someone else.
