When widowed rancher Nathan’s golden retriever Rusty uncovers a hidden research box by an old barn, they stumble into a conspiracy that has shaped their small Oregon town for nearly a century.
The box contains evidence of systematic land fraud and murder from the 1920s, research compiled by a brave indigenous woman who died trying to expose the truth. As Nathan teams up with local historian Sarah to investigate, they discover that many of Oakwood Valley’s most respected families built their prosperity on stolen land and buried secrets.
But someone will kill to keep the past buried. With threatening messages escalating to violence, Nathan and Sarah must race to expose the criminal network before they become its next victims.
A cozy mystery about the power of truth, the courage to confront uncomfortable history, and one very smart dog whose nose for discovery changes everything.
