The Trail
M. A. Hunter
Sometimes it's best to let the past stay buried...
Thirty years ago, Jess's mother, Nora, disappeared while on a charity hike in the US. The devastating loss has afflicted Jess well into her adult life and even inspired her decision to become an investigative journalist.
So when Jess receives an anonymous tip telling her that remains have been recovered in the spot her mother disappeared, she wastes no time in jumping on a plane.
They say the Appalachian Mountains have secrets, but as she begins to ask around, she learns that the locals do too. But no matter how much they lie, she is determined to find the truth - even if it will irrevocably change her future.
Someone wants to keep the past buried. And they will stop at nothing to keep Jess as quiet as the tranquil mountain trail itself...

"M. A. Hunter has skilfully crafted a unique and fascinating thriller which pulled me straight in and took me on an exciting adventure. Jess tries to uncover what happened to her mother thirty years ago on an Appalachian mountain trail hike. Full of twists and turns across two timelines, I was never quite sure who to trust right to the very end!"
