Snake Pond

Set in 1930s Tennessee, Snake Pond follows Dr. Lucy Cameron, a physician and medical researcher drawn into the search for three missing men who vanished in the woods of Bear Mountain.

What begins as a local disappearance case soon exposes something larger: corruption rooted in community power, buried violence, and long-protected secrets. As Lucy’s knowledge of the mountain pulls her deeper into the case, she finds herself confronting not only what happened to the missing men, but the social forces determined to keep the truth from surfacing.

Snake Pond is Southern Appalachian noir and historical crime fiction with psychological tension, rural atmosphere, and a grounded woman forced into moral conflict inside a community built on silence.
