Overview

Some secrets are buried for a reason. Some are preserved until the moment is right. When geology student Amanda McCabe arrives at Jamie Blackwood's cabin carrying a worn leather satchel and 130 years of family secrets, she brings more than just inherited documents and strange metallic samples. She brings a mystery that connects a deadly 1892 mine disaster to a contemporary international conspiracy-and she brings danger that has already claimed lives across five generations. The metallic nuggets her great-great-grandfather hid before his death? Raw iridium worth fifty thousand dollars-and evidence of deposits worth millions buried deep in West Virginia's mountains. The journal entries he left behind? Proof that seventeen miners weren't killed in an accident but murdered to conceal illegal mining operations and environmental poisoning that continues to this day. But someone has been protecting those secrets for over a century. And they're willing to kill to keep them buried. From autumn mountain cabins to underground meteorite craters, from historical mining disasters to contemporary environmental crimes, Shadows of Hargrove Hollow delivers a pulse-pounding mystery that asks urgent questions about justice delayed, environmental destruction, and the courage required to confront powerful institutions that believe they're above the law. Some secrets are buried for a reason.
