Beneath the Heartland

Set against the backdrop of a small Midwestern town locked in a long winter, The Hollow Dark follows Detective Mara Voss as she returns to the place she fled fifteen years ago. The case that broke her career is suddenly alive again — and this time, she's not just the investigator. She's the target. Lueder's debut novel is a masterclass in slow-burn tension, with characters so real you'll find yourself thinking about them long after the last page.
