Some men go missing. Others are gone for a reason.

Sheriff Rita Jonas is eight months pregnant and counting down to maternity leave when Divine Horizon Church's beloved pastor doesn't come home from a late-night house call. His Mercedes is found cold in the church lot. His wife is shattered. And his congregation is very interested in what the sheriff's office is and isn't going to find.

When the missing pastor turns up murdered, Rita has to navigate a town already coming apart. APEX is pulling out, jobs are vanishing, and a slick essential-oils outfit has its hooks deep in Divine Horizon's books. Behind every smile, someone's running a scheme.

As the case widens, Rita has to weigh faith, family, and a few of her own secrets against the truth, all while the baby inside her counts down its own clock.

In Still County, the past doesn't stay quiet. And neither do the dead.

Still Gone is the sixth book in The Still County Thrillers series by Lauren Street. Perfect for fans of small-town corruption, slow-burn suspense, and sheriffs who don't blink.

While each Still County case stands alone, longtime readers will find the larger story keeps building.
