Trail of Ashes Ashley Fraley

Harper Sutton is running from a lot of things. A relationship that isn't working. A hometown that was never welcoming to her. A dysfunctional family, the love of her life that she left behind, and traumatic memories of the past.

Then, there's the serial killer.

Brewer Falls, Harper's hometown, has been tormented by a serial killer known as The Striker since the late 80s. But now Harper has no choice but to return home and face her fear because The Striker's latest victim is her estranged mother.

Upon Returning, Harper finds there is more trouble than she could have ever expected. On top of The Striker and her mother's murder, her best friend Kacey is missing, and her brother is now an addict. The boy next door, her first love, has married someone else. Being back in her mother's house means Harper must face the traumatic memories that have haunted her. She has a feeling that if she looks hard enough, she just might find answers in those memories.
