"After Twenty Winters" is a gripping cold case mystery that follows investigators John DiMatteo and Dr. Claire Harper as they work to uncover the truth behind a decades-old disappearance in small-town Ohio. When the remains of Amy Winters, a seventeen-year-old track star who vanished in 2005, are discovered at a construction site in McConnelsville, the investigators must navigate complex small-town dynamics, powerful local families, and twenty years of carefully guarded secrets.
The story explores themes of justice, memory, and the weight of long-buried truths as DiMatteo and Harper work alongside local law enforcement to piece together what happened to Amy. Their investigation reveals how time has both obscured and preserved evidence, while the close-knit community grapples with reopening old wounds and confronting uncomfortable questions about the past.
As winter thaws into spring, the investigators race against both the elements and growing opposition to uncover the truth, finding that in small towns, the past is never truly buried and everyone has something to protect.
