Beneath the Kentucky Hills

Beneath the Kentucky Hills
A Rose and Clive Search & Rescue Thriller: Book 3

A year after Rose Clarke and Clive faced danger in Indiana, life has finally settled into something close to normal. The children are growing, the farm feels steadier, and Rose has expanded her search-and-rescue skills with specialized cave training she hopes she will rarely need.

Then a call comes from Kentucky.

During a spring church camp trip to Hollow Ridge Cave Park, two children vanish after slipping away from the tour group to explore a restricted passage. At first, everyone hopes they simply wandered too far. But the limestone hills hide old tunnels, unmapped chambers, abandoned sinkholes, and underground streams that can turn deadly when the rains come.

And the rains are coming fast.

Rose and Clive are called in because the search has moved beneath the surface, where scent behaves strangely, sound carries through stone, and one wrong turn can trap even trained rescuers. As the storm builds aboveground, Rose must follow Clive’s instincts through darkness, cold water, and unstable passages before the cave floods and the children disappear beneath the Kentucky hills forever.

But when rescuers discover an old warning sign was removed before the children went missing, Rose begins to fear this was not just a tragic mistake.

Someone may be learning how to make disasters look like accidents.

Beneath the Kentucky Hills is Book 3 in the Rose and Clive Search & Rescue Thriller series, a suspenseful story of courage, survival, found family, and the determination to keep searching when time is running out.
