“A thriller that makes you ponder the definition of what doing the ‘right thing’ means to you.” “Wickedly clever suspense that reads like true crime.” “ An addictive spine-tingler with twists that will keep you engrossed page after page.” Some families have secrets so dark, so gruesome, they are kept in confidence for years. Decades. Maybe even passed down for generations. I was born into one of those families. My name is Clara Koch. The year is 2025 as I document what I discovered in 1995 and the aftermath that followed. What you are about to read is as true as my recollections and the documents and physical items I uncovered in a rickety old building my family called Pappy’s house. This book and the secrets of Koch Creek would have gone unknown had I not broken the promise I made to my dying mother to never venture into Pappy’s attic.
