Summer Solstice: A Green Mountain Murder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798247823995)

On the longest day of the year, a lie is ready to take the stage.

When three graduate students are found dead near a remote stone formation in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the deaths are quickly framed as ritualistic, sensationalized by media eager for a headline and exploited by those with something to sell. But U.S. Marshal Will Prescott sees past the theatrics. The stones are wrong. The story is wrong. And the timing is too perfect.

As Prescott digs deeper, he uncovers a carefully constructed illusion built on falsified history, academic fraud, and corporate ambition. What begins as a homicide investigation becomes a race against a narrative already in motion, one designed to launder greed through the language of culture, spirituality, and progress.

With pressure mounting from the public, the press, and powerful interests determined to control the story, Prescott must navigate a case where truth is inconvenient and exposure is dangerous. Every step forward tightens the clock, and every delay risks turning fiction into accepted fact.

Set against the volatile beauty of rural Vermont and culminating on the summer solstice, Summer Solstice is a tense, atmospheric crime thriller about manufactured belief, the cost of ambition, and the moment when performance collides with consequence.

Because some lies don't just hide the truth.
They replace it.
