Whispers Beneath the Pines: Mysteries of the Hidden Places Book 2: A Forest Mystery Thriller with a Missing Person Investigation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798258648921)

Some places go quiet.
Others are made to be that way.

Deep in the forests surrounding Briar Glen, ranger Theo Ashcroft trusts patterns-the rhythm of wildlife, the shape of trails, the details most people overlook.

It's how he knows when something is wrong.

When a cryptic note appears at the ranger station, pointing to Widow's Ridge, Theo can't ignore it.

Then a woman disappears.

The deeper he investigates, the less things make sense.
The forest feels altered.
The silence feels deliberate.

And the clues don't lead to answers-
they form a pattern.

A pattern that echoes old cases.
A pattern someone wants him to see.

Because this isn't just a disappearance.

It's a message.

And someone has been waiting for him to follow it.
