Fifteen years ago, the murder of a high school girl tore Blackwood Peak apart, leaving Detective Frank Garner with a cold case that nearly destroyed his career. Now, history repeats itself with chilling accuracy. A young surveyor is found dead in the frozen timberline, posed in the identical ceremonial arrangement as the original victim. Before Frank can even begin piecing together the copycat's trail, outside state investigator Evelyn Pruitt arrives with eyes set on exposing local corruption. Then the forensic evidence begins to shift. His boot prints at the scene. His family's hunting knife covered in blood. Personal items belonging to the dead woman stashed inside his own cabin. As longtime neighbors turn suspicious and paranoia turns into an all-out witch hunt, Frank realizes the killer isn't just reenacting a decades-old crime—he is staging Frank's complete destruction. To clear his name and survive the freezing wilderness, Frank must confront the dark truths hidden in his own past before Blackwood Peak executes its own justice. In Echoes in the Pines, Tezra J Lee delivers an electrifying mountain thriller packed with claustrophobic tension and relentless suspense.
