Two young backpackers hike up Ghost Mountain to spend the night and are never seen alive again.

Three men are found murdered in a mall parking lot next to an unregistered black van. A woman kneels in the pool of blood and is arrested for the crime.

Two seemingly unrelated events nearly a year apart, both quickly handled by the police. But Marty Gray’s not so sure they’ve got it right, and when she finds a strange similarity between the two cases, she knows there’s more to the story. But with one spectacularly bad podcast investigation on her resume, no one is willing to take Weird Marty Gray seriously, so she starts her own investigation, asking questions no one wants asked, and unearthing answers no one wants to come to light.

Through the sleepy streets of her small town and the haunted trails of Ghost Mountain, Marty slowly digs up the town’s best kept secrets, while a killer lurks in the shadows, waiting to strike again.
