Description
Before Stillwater, there was the bridge.
Twelve-year-old Carter Thompson wants nothing more than to be a detective. But it isn’t until he’s offered his first case that the future he’s always imagined begins to feel real. His parents are supportive, happy to see their only son excited and driven, and they are more than willing to help him, even if it requires a small detour on the way home.
Sheriff Martin Cain is trying to hold on to his daughter even as he feels her slipping away, lost to the gravity of a teenager’s life. When an afternoon fishing trip takes a dangerous turn, he makes the kind of choice any father would make. The kind that seems right in the moment, devoid of consequences beyond his own family.
On a cold February afternoon, a series of small choices — a garbled radio call, an unmarked road, a few minutes that no one thought mattered — will converge on Sawmill Bridge Road and set into motion everything that follows in the world of Stillwater.
Some stories are driven by a villain. For Carter Thompson, the only villain is fate, and the choices we all make to survive.
