A Small-Town Pacific Northwest Mystery of Forest Fires, Cold Cases, and Unearned Guilt

When a raging forest fire sweeps through the pine timberland surrounding the small town of Havenwood, Oregon, the local community unites to rebuild. As emergency crews clear the charred wreckage, they uncover the remains of a murder victim hidden deep within the forest ruins.

Local resident Katherine, who has spent years feeling alienated by the town's close-knit social circles, begins investigating the victim's identity. Her search unearths long-buried family rivalries, municipal corruption, and secrets that local leaders intended to remain buried under the ash.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Curator's Note:

Jefferson uses a natural disaster as a literal and metaphorical tool to strip away the facade of a quiet town. The wildfire does not just destroy the landscape; it unearths the hidden rivalries and histories that Havenwood has tried to suppress for years. It is a compelling, character-driven pick for those interested in how trauma can force a community—and an individual—to finally tell the truth.
