Winchester, Tennessee, 1946-where every secret drags you deeper into the dark.

Martina Grace runs her uncle's café by day. By night, she's the hidden voice behind bone-chilling horror stories-published under a man's name, because no one in town believes a woman can write such things.

She's managed to stay invisible... until the FBI storms into Winchester, chasing missing agents and a drug ring buried in the hills. Then a murdered boy is found-his body staged as a warning.

Pulled into the sheriff's office, Martina learns the law isn't after the killer. They're after her brother. The relentless FBI agent wants answers she can't afford to give. Every word Martina speaks risks her family, her safety, and her life.

As violence escalates and betrayal closes in, Martina must choose: protect the people she loves-or risk everything to expose what Winchester is really hiding.

Between Hope and Hell is a gritty Southern noir thriller of secrets, survival, and the deadly cost of truth.
