Nothing can stay buried forever…

When the skeletal remains of a long-missing woman are unearthed in the rolling vineyards of Washington’s Horse Heaven Hills, Detective Thomas Austin is pulled into a case with eerie echoes of the past. The land belongs to one of the region’s most prestigious wineries, and the discovery threatens to shake the industry to its core.

Who was she? Why was she murdered? And who buried her beneath the twisting vines of Cabernet Sauvignon?

At the same time, across the Puget Sound, a woman vanishes after boarding a cruise ship heading north from Seattle. No sign of struggle. No witnesses. Just an empty seat and a name on the manifest.

Two cases. No connection.

Until Thomas Austin finds one.

From the misty shores of Kitsap County to the sunbaked hills of wine country, Austin chases a truth that refuses to stay buried. Each answer leads to another question. Each secret comes with a warning.

Some things were never meant to be uncovered.

And someone is watching to make sure they stay that way.
