Breakheart Hill

A small-town doctor is haunted by the decades-old murder of his first love in this “novel of stunning power” by an Edgar Award–winning author (Booklist).

Ben Wade is a middle-aged doctor in Choctaw County, Alabama, and back in 1962 he dreamed of spending the rest of his life with Kelli Troy. But he never had the chance to confess his love for Kelli before her body was found on Breakheart Hill. Decades later, the small town is still haunted by that violent death—especially Ben. He’s never been able to move on, because he’s the only one who knows what really happened that summer afternoon …

“A haunting evocation that gains power and resonance with each twist of its spiral-like narration.”—Publishers Weekly

“A climax that is so unexpected the reader may think [Cook] has cheated. But there is no cheating here, only excellent storytelling.”—Booklist
