In this electric supernatural thriller, two sisters investigate an isolated Arizona town's connection to their mother’s death—now in paperback!
 
Beck Birsching has been adrift since the death of her mother, a brilliant but troubled investigative reporter. She can’t stop from slipping into memories of happier days, longing for a time when things felt normal. So when a mysterious letter in her mother’s handwriting arrives that reads Come and find me, pointing to the small town from her last investigation, Beck hopes it holds the answers.

But when Beck and her sister Riley arrive in Backravel, Arizona, it’s clear something’s off. There’s no cars, no cemeteries, no churches. The town is a mix of dilapidated military structures and new, shiny buildings, all overseen by a gleaming treatment center on a plateau. No one seems to remember when they got there, and when Beck digs deeper into the town’s enigmatic leader and his daughter Avery, she suspects they know more than they let on.

As Beck and Riley search for answers about their mother, she and Avery are increasingly drawn together, and their unexpected connection brings up emotions Beck fought to keep buried. Beck is desperate to hold onto how things used to be, but when she starts losing herself in Backravel—and its connection to her mother—she risks losing her way back out.

In Where Echoes Die, Courtney Gould draws readers into a haunting desert town to explore grief, the weight of holding onto the past, first love, and the bonds between sisters, mothers and daughters.
