In the Wild Fields: A Small-Town Mystery

In the Wild Fields

Some towns bury their secrets. Others grow them.

Journalist Griffin Cole hasn’t set foot in Crawford’s Mill for eighteen years.

He left after his father’s death.

After the first love turned into heartbreak.

After deciding there was nothing left worth coming home for.

Now a set of human remains has been discovered near the abandoned mill beside the Tarkio River.

The town believes the mystery is finally over.

Griffin quickly realizes it’s only beginning.

As he searches for the truth behind the disappearance of seventeen-year-old Lucy Wild, old friendships fracture, forgotten rivalries return, and long-buried lies begin to surface. Every answer uncovers another secret, and every secret reaches further into Griffin’s own past.

Some stories change the people who read them.

This one changes the man writing it.

Set among the cornfields and back roads of rural Missouri, In the Wild Fields is an atmospheric literary mystery about memory, family, first love, and the devastating cost of the truths we choose to hide.

Perfect for readers of William Kent Krueger, The Dry, Ordinary Grace and Mystic River.
