Ashes In The Corn

Ashes in the Corn –

A Joe Cavanough Mystery

In the haunting small town of Cabery, Illinois, silence is more than golden—it's deadly. Ashes in the Corn is a gripping mystery thriller that follows Joe Cavanough, a battle-scarred veteran turned private investigator, as he confronts a chilling secret buried beneath the cornfields and quiet streets. When Lilly Wentworth vanishes without a trace, dismissed by the local sheriff as a runaway, her grandfather Harold knows the truth—that something sinister lurks in the shadows. Armed with Lilly's cryptic journal filled with symbols, whispers of a mysterious Fellowship, and a barn that holds ancient rituals, Joe embarks on a dangerous quest to uncover hidden truths. Haunted by his own loss and driven by justice, Joe partners with a fiercely loyal Jack Russell Terrier named Snoop, navigating a web of masked figures, coded messages, and a town complicit in a dark tradition. As the spring equinox approaches—the time when the Fellowship's ritual reaches its terrifying peak—Joe races against time in a suspenseful battle to break the cycle of sacrifice and silence.
