Some secrets are buried.
Others are buried twice.
In the isolated mountains of Calder County, West Virginia, the Black Hollow investigation has exposed abandoned mine corridors, falsified police reports, hidden graves, and decades of carefully manufactured disappearances. But the deepest secret has yet to surface.
When investigators uncover a buried records chamber beneath Red Ash Cemetery, they discover something more disturbing than human remains: police reports written before the crimes they describe.
Deputy Evan Rourke and the task force soon realize that the conspiracy beneath Calder County was never simply about hiding bodies. For generations, identities were separated from remains, evidence was moved between counties, and official records were manipulated so that no investigator could ever assemble the complete truth.
Now someone is still using the old system.
Someone who knows the tunnels.
Someone who knows police procedure.
And someone who is determined to keep Third Ground buried.
As abandoned mines reveal their dead and old loyalties begin to collapse, Evan must confront the darkest question of the Black Hollow investigation:
What if the people who buried the truth never actually left?
Some things were buried because somebody wanted them forgotten.
DON'T DIG HERE is Book Three of THE BLACK HOLLOW CASES, a tense police procedural horror novel blending Appalachian noir, cold-case mystery, buried-town secrets, forensic investigation, abandoned-mine terror, and psychological suspense.
