In a town of 597 people in southeastern Indiana, Emma Caldwell uncovered her mother's twenty-year investigation. What she found wasn't just a network. It was a founding family's legacy built on ground that remembers everything.
The Trilogy
The Moores Hill Thriller Series follows Emma Caldwell as she investigates crimes that trace back through generations of a small Indiana town. With her partners James McClanahan and Owen Mitchell, Emma discovers that some secrets aren't just buried in the past—they're woven into the ground itself.
Set in real southeastern Indiana locations, using actual buildings, roads, and verified geography, the series combines procedural authenticity with mythology that spans three thousand years.
Book 1: The Keeper
She kept the truth for twenty years. Her daughter will keep it no longer.
For twenty years, everyone told Linda Caldwell she was paranoid. Then Linda died. And her daughter Emma found the journals. Now Emma must decode her mother's research and finish a twenty-year investigation into a serial killer so careful, so patient, so perfectly hidden that he murdered twelve women without anyone noticing.
Book 2: The Benefactor
Every town has a founding family. Not every family deserves to be found.
Emma Caldwell thought it was over. Then the FBI calls. Mark wants to make a deal. He claims his crimes were only the beginning. When Agent Karen Baker is found dead the same night Emma cracks an encrypted drive, the investigation explodes beyond anything her mother could have imagined. A founding family. A network spanning six states. And a secret buried beneath Carnegie Hall since 1854.
Book 3: The Custodian
Some ground was never meant to be built on.
Emma Caldwell exposed The Benefactor. She uncovered the network. She thought she understood the scope. She was wrong. When Emma discovers Robert Moore's encrypted journal, she learns the truth: seven locations across the world where the ground remembers. And one man who has been watching for over a century, waiting for someone to understand.
