LOYALTY RUNS DEEP, SILENCE IS SURVIVAL, AND JUSTICE HAS A PRICE.

 

Farah Porter vowed to never return to her shadowy mountain hometown of Alabaster Peaks. But when a true crime podcast revives interest in a twenty-year-old cold case, her father becomes the prime suspect, forcing her to come home to clear his name.

 

Raymond Porter was the Chief of Police when local teen Lacey Monroe was murdered twenty years ago—and he was the one who closed that case despite the frenzied town demanding answers. Now suffering from a life-threatening stroke, he has one last chance to confess…

 

Farah's investigation forces her to reconnect with Nate Wilder: an old flame who now works for the county’s Criminal Investigations Division with access to the dwindling cold case unit. As the case heats up, her father’s reputation crackles, her feelings for Nate reignite, and Farah has an eerie feeling that someone will go great lengths to keep the past buried—including silencing her.

 

CONFESSIONS OF THE INNOCENT is a gripping mystery-thriller novel and book #1 in the standalone Cold Case series.
