The Girl in the Hills

It wasn’t supposed to be this way...

After a disastrous investigation ends with the death of her FBI partner.
Sarah Cross is banished from her high-profile position in Boston and sent to Tennessee.
Feeling more broken and directionless than ever.
Sarah moves to the sleepy countryside town of Silver Hill.
Where she sets up her quaint new office above a bakery.

Exploring the town, she runs into Sheriff Tobias Kessel.
Making a note to avoid his southern drawl and charming demeanor.
But when the sheriff’s close friend is found dead from an overdose in his garage.
Sarah finds herself drawn to the case.

Now forced to work with the sheriff, she finds there may be more to him than meets the eye.
Soon, the case takes unpredictable and shocking turns.
As the body count rises and a drug kingpin who escaped from New York appears in her office.
Sarah faces a terrifying possibility.

Could this be connected to the very case that landed her here in the first place?

Strange connections, cruel twists of fate, and deadly intentions.
Silver Hill will never be the same.
