Synopsis

In a quiet Michigan town, disappearances have a way of fading into the cold.

When another young woman vanishes, Captain Marsha Russell and her team are pulled into a case that refuses to follow the rules. What begins as a routine investigation quickly fractures into something darker-something buried beneath years of silence.

As the evidence begins to surface, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: this isn't just a single crime. It's a pattern. One that stretches further back than anyone expected.

While the investigation closes in, time is running out for Madison. Trapped, alone, and fighting to survive, she realizes that no one is coming to save her-not in time. If she's going to make it out, she'll have to do it herself.

What they uncover will change everything.

Some secrets aren't hidden.

They're buried.

About this title

About the Author

Randy R. Gillespie is the author of the HELIX series, a grounded biomedical thriller exploring the collision of science, military power, and human consequence. His work blends cinematic pacing with deeply researched medical and technological realism, focusing on characters forced to confront ethical collapse in moments where survival and morality can no longer coexist.

Drawing from a fascination with systems-how they're built, weaponized, and ultimately fail-Gillespie's storytelling avoids supernatural shortcuts in favor of plausible science pushed just beyond its breaking point. His narratives emphasize psychological realism, moral accountability, and the terrifying momentum of ideas once control is lost.
