by Rodney L. Carpentier (Author)
Mike Ellis is a rookie cop in a rural Catskill Mountain town working in the shadow of his dead father, the former Chief of Police. When a true crime podcaster comes to town, Mike is drawn into a cold case murder investigation that his father began. As Mike begins to sort through the case, he stumbles into a modern-day murder case that has similar elements.
A young woman. She's been strangled. A cop named Ellis. And of course, the Overlook.
Assigned to help the new investigation, Mike is pitted against his father's former rival, a seasoned detective who has no use for him, and a burly cop's son who wants to take his head off. In spite of the obstacles, Mike makes a tremendous breakthrough and cracks the cold case wide open.
With the help of his trusty partners and some old timers, Mike discovers that his father had kept something hidden that, now discovered, sparks national attention. But as the spotlight shines on the past, Mike loses grip on the promises he made in the present, with dire consequences.
Can Mike reconcile the relationship with a father he doesn't truly know and solve two murders separated by four decades?
