What price, redemption?Set within the unforgiving winter landscape of rural Maine, Bitter Passage introduces Sheriff’s Deputy Allegheny Beckham. Beckham has returned to Chamberlain County, seeking the quiet of home after years patrolling the streets of south Chicago.

But Chamberlain County has other ideas. Immediately tasked with investigating a murder/kidnapping, Beckham methodically peels back layers of deceit surrounding a frozen corpse and a pair of missing teenaged twins.

The young deputy embarks on a harrowing journey that sends her into treacherous terrain–both physical and emotional–as she races to deliver the children to safety. Descending ever-deeper into the deadly puzzle forces Beckham to confront a lifetime scarred by loss, guilt, and feral survival.

When the violent finale unfolds, she discovers the cost of redemption may be higher than she ever imagined. Bitter Passage is a riveting tale of resilience, justice, and the enduring struggle to confront the shadows of the past.
