When photographer Wren Caldwell is sent to the windswept valleys of Montana to document a dormant railroad line, she expects solitude, not secrets. But a recent death—quietly ruled accidental—stirs whispers of a deeper story buried beneath the tracks.
Still recovering from the events of Exposure, Wren takes on her first assignment with The Witness Project, a nonprofit documenting stories at risk of being erased. Her camera leads her into a fractured landscape of tribal lands, buried history, and uneasy truces—where not everyone wants the truth to surface.
As the line between observer and participant begins to blur, Wren must decide how far she’s willing to go to uncover what’s been deliberately concealed—and whether bearing witness is enough when silence protects the powerful.
CROSSING is a moody, atmospheric mystery that explores legacy, loyalty, and the haunting echoes of injustice. Perfect for readers who love character-driven suspense, small-town secrets, and heroines who refuse to look away.
Book 2 in the Wren Caldwell Mystery Series. Can be read as a standalone.
