Whisper Bound. Whisper, #1

A dead woman. A living town. And the ground itself wants her dead. Private investigator Meg Barringer wakes to an earthquake, a head wound, and blood on the floor-never a good sign. Before she can catch her breath, she's hired to investigate a woman buried alive. The trail leads Meg into Whisper, Washington, where the land remembers, secrets don't stay buried, and the charismatic Peter Eresh may be more than he seems.
As Meg digs deeper, she uncovers a deadly scheme threatening the town itself-and something inhuman stalking her every step. Outsiders want to control Whisper's land. Whisper is fighting back. And Meg may not survive either side. Whisper Bound is the gripping first book in the Whisper series, where the Pacific Northwest hides more than fog and trees.
