A cold case unsolved for a decade. A true-crime podcast chasing answers. A killer who isn’t finished.

Ten years ago, beloved teacher Rebecca Hale and her teenage son were murdered in their Adirondack home. The case went cold, leaving the small town of High Peaks scarred and silent. Now, a popular true-crime podcast has arrived to dig into the mystery and force buried truths to the surface.

But when charismatic host Pierce Landry vanishes and his burned-out van is discovered deep in the wilderness, the investigation takes a deadly new turn.

BCI Investigator Noah Sutherland is reluctantly pulled in, but it’s his daughter Mia—eager to prove herself—who follows Pierce’s notes and the digital breadcrumbs he left behind. As whispers of cover-ups, jealous colleagues, and a missing stalker swirl, the Hale murders no longer feel like history. They feel unfinished.

And as Mia edges closer to the truth, she realizes some people in High Peaks will kill to keep the past buried.

Fatal Fame is the electrifying eighth book in the High Peaks Mystery Thriller series. These crime fiction novels are full of twists, thrills, and heart-stopping suspense. Perfect for fans of James Patterson, David Baldacci, Michael Connelly, Lisa Jackson, Sandra Brown, Dennis Lehane, C.J. Box, LJ Ross, Harlan Coben, and Craig Johnson.
