Nothing As It Seems eBook

In a town where secrets run deep, the truth comes at a deadly cost

Social worker Billy Jo McCabe knows firsthand how broken the system can be, so when a vulnerable girl goes missing from a wilderness camp on a remote Pacific Northwest island, she’s determined to find her. But the search quickly becomes more complicated when she’s forced to work with Detective Mark Friessen—a man who seems more interested in challenging her at every turn than solving the case.

As tensions rise between them, Billy Jo and Mark realize they’re up against more than just a missing person. The town’s tight-lipped locals, buried secrets, and a growing number of unsettling clues reveal a much darker conspiracy. And as they dig deeper, they must confront the uncomfortable truth that their search for one missing girl has uncovered something far more dangerous lurking beneath the surface.

In Nothing as it Seems, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lorhainne Eckhart launches a gripping new mystery series where trust is a luxury, and nothing in this quiet town is as it appears.
