Heartland Heroes

Best friends solve a murder in the summer of 1966 in rural America.

The summer was supposed to be about ball games, bike rides, and afternoons in the sun. For best friends Max Scanlan and Charlie Scerbiak, life in their small Minnesota town is safe and simple, yet full of adventure.

But when a suspicious death shocks the community, everything changes. While the police and townspeople are certain they know who’s guilty, Max and Charlie begin to doubt the story everyone else accepts.

Determined to uncover the truth, the boys dive headfirst into a mystery that leads them down a shadowy path. What begins as curiosity soon becomes a fight for survival.

HEARTLAND HEROES by Mark Reps is a nostalgic coming-of-age story filled with mystery, small-town secrets, and friendship tested in the face of fear.
