The fall harvest season has arrived at Goldenleaf Apple Farm. This year, the orchards are keeping a secret…
When apple farmer Vernon Reed is found dead, suspicion falls on Isaac ‘Izzy’ Lennox: the exuberant young theater enthusiast whose fingerprints are on the murder weapon. The town wants answers. The evidence seems clear.
Laura Evans doesn’t believe it for a second.
Refusing to let her friend’s reputation be destroyed, she digs into Vernon’s secretive final months alongside her observant landlady Evelyn Chan and sharp-witted colleague Jasmine Williams. What they uncover is messier than a simple motive: a man with secrets, a business with fractures, and a community that had no reason to doubt.
Goldenleaf’s orchards are still heavy with the season’s harvest. But someone is watching Laura’s every move.
In a town where everyone knows everyone, the deadliest secrets hide behind the most trusted faces.
Can Laura expose the truth before the killer buries it for good?
