A Step Past Darkness: A Novel

Twenty years after witnessing a horrifying crime in an abandoned coal mine, six former classmates are forced to reunite when one of them, Maddy, is murdered. In 1995, the group—each from different walks of life—made a vow of silence after uncovering dark secrets in their town of Wesley Falls. Now, as old fears resurface and buried truths come to light, they must return to the mine to face the past—and the killer who never stopped watching.
