By: A.J. Rivers

Narrated by: Kelly Smelcer

“There’s been a shooting during a prisoner transport. Five officers down. I repeat, five officers down.”

After a horrific case upended her life, FBI agent Sarah Cross is sent to Silver Hill. A picturesque, tight-knit town nestled in the Tennessee foothills. Now a thousand miles away from her old city life in Boston. Sarah finds herself at an odd crossroads, haunted by guilt.

When a bloody massacre takes place during a prisoner transport. Sarah is personally tasked with investigating the crime. The case quickly takes a shocking turn after an anonymous tip arrives. Photographic evidence that implicates Silver Hill’s Sheriff. All suspicion immediately falls upon her friend, TK.

Unconvinced by the evidence, Sarah dives deep into the case. While all her colleagues are certain that TK is the culprit. Sarah is determined to look beyond the mounting evidence against him. With ruthless fugitives from the deadly transport still on the loose. And TK sitting in prison awaiting trial. The case draws nationwide attention and demands for swift justice.

From steel traps to close encounters with wild bears. As the hunt intensifies, a hidden note containing a cryptic message is found. A message that could blow the whole case apart.

Several lives lie in ruins as the investigation hurtles toward a high-stakes climax.

Family ties, buried secrets, and mass murder. The wilderness has a way of bringing out the beast in people.
