Nowhere to Run

Ivy Harlow, recently divorced, has spent the last two years turning her grief into a podcast. Her son Adam was murdered, and when the answers stopped coming from the police, she started finding them herself. It's been slow with one episode at a time, one lead at a time, from her quiet house in Cedar Bluff, Oklahoma, with her skeptical rescue cat for company.
Now that search is pulling her somewhere she never wanted to go back to: Amarillo. The city where she raised Adam. The city where she got the call.

A podcast listener tip sends Ivy down there chasing a lead that unravels before she can grab hold of it, but she's not leaving without checking every thread she hasn't pulled yet. Because somewhere in Adam's past is a girl named Emma Reeves, and Emma has been completely off the grid for two years. That's not coincidence. That's fear.

Meanwhile, Officer Miguel Garcia has his own ghosts catching up to him. Just as he and Ivy are cautiously, carefully figuring out what they might be to each other, his sister is approached in a grocery store by a man with questions about a death, her husband's, that was never supposed to be questioned. Miguel has spent years keeping that secret buried. Now it's walking toward him in the cereal aisle.

Nowhere to Run is a slow-burn mystery about two people carrying separate secrets, a grieving mother who won't stop until she finds the truth, and the man falling for her who's hoping she never finds his. Warm, suspenseful, and layered with the push-and-pull of a relationship forming in real time, it's the next chapter in a story that's just getting started.
