The Orchard Line Murders (en Inglés) - Allen Stanfill

When a jogger discovers a man sitting dead beneath a frost‑covered apple tree, Deputy Mara Leland knows something is wrong. When a second body turns up in an abandoned packing shed two days later, she calls the one investigator the sheriff doesn't want anywhere near the case Rowan Pierce. Pierce arrives to find an orchard swallowed in fog, a dead man with no visible injuries, and a metal tag marked 47B lying in the frost. But it's the silent figure watching from between the trees that tells him this isn't an isolated killing. Someone knows the orchard better than anyone alive and they're not done. As Pierce digs into the land's troubled history, he uncovers a trail of secrets the Hargrove family buried long before the orchard was abandoned. Locals refuse to talk. Records don't match. And the deeper he goes, the more he realizes the killer isn't hiding in the shadows by accident they're guiding him. Two bodies are only the beginning. And the orchard is ready to give up the rest. A tense, atmospheric rural‑noir thriller perfect for fans of True Detective, The Dry, and slow‑burn mysteries where the land itself feels like a suspect.
