Twenty years ago, five teenagers vanished in the Oregon wilderness. Two were found bound and left for dead on the rocky shore of the Columbia River. Only one survived, Devin Bonner, who remembers nothing of what happened that night. Now, the past has returned.
When a true-crime podcaster is discovered murdered at the same site, FBI Special Agent Mercy Kilpatrick and her husband, Police Chief Truman Daly, reopen the cold case that never stopped haunting their town. As Devin’s memories begin to resurface, a new trail of blood emerges, drawing Truman’s ward, Ollie, into a danger far greater than he understands.
At the River holds 4.6 stars on Amazon and 4.5 on Goodreads, a gripping Columbia River novel of memory, trauma, and buried truth from Kendra Elliot.
