The Graves - Paperback

by Mike Donohue (Author)

It's a thin line between survival and madness.

A pair of missing hikers. A dangerous obsession. And a wilderness that doesn't forgive.

When a chance encounter in a sleepy West Virginia town thrusts Max Strong into a desperate search for two missing hikers, he's pulled into a world where reality bends and legends come alive. Max isn't new to danger, but nothing could prepare him for what he finds in the depths of the Monongahela National Forest.

Jake Cotter and his girlfriend Sarah vanished without a trace, chasing an obsession with a place whispered about in hushed tones by locals-Grave's End. As Max and Sarah's sister Riley dig deeper, they realize this isn't just a simple search-and-rescue. There's something darker lurking in these woods.

With a ragtag team of unlikely allies, Max finds himself in a race against time and the elements. And maybe against each other. Strange things are happening and it becomes clear that someone...or something...is willing to do anything to stop them from going any farther.

The more Max uncovers, the more he's forced to confront the chilling possibility that two missing hikers are only the beginning.

Some graves don't wait for the dead.
