This Town Won't Tell

A single mom finds herself mixed up with the wrong people in this twisting crime novel perfect for fans of C. J. Box and Ruth Ware.

Featuring a neurodivergent lead, this small-town thriller is a compelling story of tenacity and grit.

In the snowy mountain town of Suspicion, Montana, single mom Janey Hendee waits tables at the local roadhouse—and on the sly, she runs an underground card game. All to give her daughter a better life than the one she had.

When her sleazy ex fails to get their daughter to school, Janey takes matters into her own hands and breaks into his place to threaten him using her cousin’s gun. Unfortunately, Janey is caught, and a local crime boss is using the security footage as leverage against her, forcing her to make a shady drop under the town’s bridge.

But after finding out her cousin also got himself mixed up with the wrong people in town and ended up dead, Janey knows she’s in too deep. The only thing that matters now is keeping her daughter safe, but to do that she must stay alive.

With the twisted, thrilling edge of Ozark, Rhodi Hawk explores the lengths a mother will go through to keep her daughter safe.
