Why did they kill Sammy Saint John? In the small pine-shaded town of Savage Ridge, Nick, Emmy, and Pete have murdered their high school classmate, Sammy Saint John. His body is never found, and with no crime to answer for, they make a pact to escape...and never come back. Ten years later, each has been drawn home, seemingly by coincidence. But private investigator Sloane Yo has them in her sights. As she circles, the net tightens around the three friends, but also around her employers, the powerful family who have run Savage Ridge for generations with an iron fist: the Saint Johns. What is it they aren't telling Sloane? And what if Sammy is not the only victim she should be avenging? For fans of True Detective, Ozark, and Chris Whitaker's We Begin at the End, Savage Ridge is a shattering, propulsive crime thriller set deep in the pines of the American Pacific Northwest.
