Description
When a hiker vanishes on the Blackwood Trail, Jennifer Carter is pulled into a web of old grudges and hidden motives that threaten to swallow the town whole. A fisherman delivers the missing girl’s backpack, a coded receipt inside points to a place locals call the Dead Zone, and every new clue pulls Jennifer deeper into danger.
With Sheriff Michael Brooks leading the official search, Jennifer handles logistics at the stand while quietly following the trail Sarah Miller left behind. Shadowy figures watch from parked cars, tires are slashed with warnings to stay away, and a frantic father arrives claiming his daughter was chasing a long-buried family secret. Each discovery tightens the knot of suspicion around familiar faces.
As Jennifer and Michael track footprints to an unmapped cabin and later an abandoned mine shaft, they uncover Sarah’s journal and the identity of the “Ghost Hiker” she was hunting. The truth about mineral rights, a thirty-year land dispute, and betrayal within the Miller family surfaces just as time is running out.
Racing against rigged explosives and a desperate man fleeing into the high ridges, Jennifer must use every clue Sarah left behind to bring the missing hiker home and expose the real threat before another life is lost.
