When Colton Travers was four months old, a runaway horse on Bent Oak Road left his mother dead. His father survived, then disappeared.
Raised by Grams and Papa Ed, Colton grew up with family stories and faded photographs. He never questioned the past—until a worn shoe box of newspaper clippings hinted at a darker truth.
Now, drawn into a fifty-year-old unsolved case, Colton must follow a trail gone cold. No leads. No arrests. No answers. Only the secrets left behind, and a decision about how far he will go in pursuit of justice.
Memory holds the clues. Time keeps the truth. Justice demands satisfaction.
