    In the Wild Fields 
    One year ago, Lucy Wild vanished without a trace after a school dance in Crawford's Mill, Missouri, a close-knit farming town where secrets run as deep as the riverbanks. Despite the town's whispered suspicions and hushed accusations, her body was never found—until now. Discovered near the Tarkio River on the other side of the cornfield, her remains bring grief back to the surface and reignite questions that were never truly answered. 
    Griffin Cole never intended to return to Crawford's Mill, a place haunted by his troubled youth and a strict father he could never please. But when his struggling newspaper in St. Joseph needs compelling stories to survive, he's sent back to cover the discovery of Hope's body on the anniversary of her disappearance. He claims to be working on a podcast to get people to open up, but he's really there to find the truth. 
    For Griffin, the return is more complicated than just an assignment. He once loved Judith Dixon, now Judith Wild—the grieving mother whose pain is only rivaled by the secrets she guards. Their past was intense and complicated, marked by rivalry with her now-husband, Clayton Wild III, heir to the largest corn farm in the area. Clayton is determined to protect his family's name, even if it means burying the truth. 
    As Griffin digs deeper, he finds himself drawn back into the tangled history of Crawford's Mill, where the Wild family's influence touches everything and old loyalties collide with buried lies. Teaming up with a young deputy who secretly questions the sheriff's quick closure of the case, Griffin starts to unravel the dark undercurrents that led to Lucy's death.

    New Zealand's remote Milford Track seems the perfect place for forensic investigator Alexa Glock to reconnect with her brother Charlie, with whom she hasn't spent much time since they were kids. But their backpacking trip seems ill-fated from the start: she must stop on the way to examine nine skeletons?most likely M?ori tribespeople?whose graves have been unearthed by highway construction. Before she opens the first casket, a M?ori elder gives her a dire warning: The viewing of bones can unleash misfortune to the living. Or worse. Though Alexa dismisses his words as superstitious, they soon come back to haunt her as the idyllic hike takes a sinister turn. First, Charlie is aloof and resentful of the time Alexa has spent at work. Then a rock avalanche nearly carries her away as it reveals the skeletal remains of someone who has clearly been stabbed to death. When a fellow hiker goes missing and is later found dead, it’s all Alexa can do to focus on the science as she investigates two murders, while trying not to become the third victim.
