Annie Seaton writing as Claire Cross.
Some secrets refuse to stay buried.
Detective Catherine Snowden has learned to trust her instincts. But when a young girl's body is discovered in an ancient oak forest, Catherine experiences something she can't explain—a vision, a presence, a desperate plea from beyond the grave.
Find us. There are more of us buried in the forest.
The dead girl has a name: Eliza Symonds. Twelve years old. Missing for three years. Written off as a runaway by a system that didn't care enough to look.
Now Eliza has found a way to reach Catherine from the other side, determined to expose the man who murdered her—and the others he's buried beneath the oaks. But the killer is still hunting, still free, and Catherine's superiors dismiss her theories as the desperate obsession of an overworked detective.
As the boundaries between the living and the dead begin to blur, Catherine must decide: trust what she can see, or believe in what she can feel?
Because in the ancient forest, the trees remember everything. And some spirits won't rest until justice is served—no matter the cost.
Genre: Urban Fantasy
