    Summary

    Three days after Adam Summers is found dead beside the river, Logan returns to the town that exiled his family eighteen years ago.

    His search for work at the Summers mine brings him dangerously close to Scott Summers: married, closeted, and bound to the family whose name Mercy Creek has learned never to question.

    In Mercy Creek, the river carries away the truth... and the town's sins but always gives back the ashes.
