Synopsis

OUT IN THE STICKS

People disappear out here. The locals stopped asking why.

When twenty-something traveler Megan Price disappears on a lonely mountain road in Calder County, West Virginia, the only thing she leaves behind is her abandoned car, driver’s door open, keys still in the ignition, purse untouched, and one shoe beneath the brake pedal.

Her final message to her sister contains seven chilling words:

There’s a man on the road.

Deputy Evan Rourke expects a difficult missing-person search. Instead, investigators discover something beneath the road that shouldn't exist: an entrance into an abandoned mine passage missing from every official map.

Then they hear knocking from inside the mountain.

As the search expands, Evan uncovers evidence that Megan isn't the first person to disappear around Black Hollow. Old mining surveys contradict one another. Forgotten tunnels connect communities miles apart. Police records have been altered. Evidence has vanished. And a surveyor who discovered the same discrepancies nearly fifty years earlier disappeared without a trace.

Someone has been keeping Black Hollow's secrets buried for generations.

Now Evan must navigate abandoned mines, frightened locals, compromised records, and a county where almost everyone knows more than they're willing to admit.

Because the mountains aren't making people disappear.

Someone is using them to make sure the missing are never found.

OUT IN THE STICKS is Book One of THE BLACK HOLLOW CASES, a dark police procedural horror novel blending Appalachian noir, missing-person mystery, rural crime, psychological suspense, and claustrophobic underground terror.
