A young woman fights for the truth behind her friend's disappearance against an unknown enemy in this nail-biting and twisty rural noir thriller.

With a new PhD under her belt and eager to avoid her pre-determined path as the heir to her parents' Fortune 10 organic food company, twenty-seven year old Daphne seeks out an idyllic Mayberry existence in a remote small town in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Peddling homeopathic techniques and herbal cures, she manages to gain a small collection of clients who appreciate her natural approach to healing. However, she is mostly met with cold skepticism from the locals. When her favorite client—an army veteran in his 70s—goes missing and no one in the town seems to be care, Daphne is deeply concerned. He saved her life once and she is bound and determined to return the favor.

Pitting herself against the townspeople, who assure her that Sharpe is just on a bender despite all the evidence she finds to the contrary, Daphne is drawn deeper and deeper into a twisted web of secrets and lies.

It seems as if a local biker and a civilian deputy sheriff are willing to help, but it's hard to tell hero from villain in this world. She’s told to leave her search for the truth alone by multiple people, but she can't let it go. With unknown enemies in every dark corner and a raging wildfire threatening to trap everyone in town, Daphne must decide how far she's willing to go for the truth.

A nail-biting suspense with a lush, deadly setting, a twisted web of small-town corruption and a cast of unforgettable characters, Lost Sierra is a 2023 thriller you don't want to miss.
