Some secrets don’t stay buried. Some were never meant to be found. Sheriff Rita Jonas has her hands full. Vandalism is on the rise at Apex Global’s sites, and tensions between the townspeople and the corporation are heating up. When a construction crew uncovers a shallow grave on the edge of town, the simmering unrest explodes. Inside the three skeletons, each with a single bullet to the skull. They were known as the Apex Three—contractors who vanished four years ago without a trace. Most believed they disappeared into the Wyoming wilderness. But now it’s clear someone silenced them and got away with it. As Rita reopens the case, she’s forced to untangle a web of silence, loyalty, and fear. And as new threats surface, she begins to wonder if the killer is still here. Watching. Waiting. Ready to strike again. Still Buried is the second book in The Still County Thrillers, a gritty, atmospheric series from Lauren Street. Perfect for fans of small-town secrets, fearless sheriffs, and murder that refuses to stay cold.
