Description
When the body of a man is found discarded in a manure pit on the outskirts of Wakefield Falls, many are quick to look the other way. But for Detective Sergeant Ethan Black, the discovery of Gerry Brenneman strikes a jagged, personal nerve. Haunted by his brother's unsolved death and a family history written in tragedy, Ethan refuses to let another "inconvenient" life be erased.
As high-priced developers and City Hall power brokers scramble to protect a lucrative "development," Ethan finds an unlikely ally in Valerie Reimer, a reporter with a similar hunger for the truth. Together, they peel back the polished veneer of the city's elite to find a corruption that runs deeper than the local soil.
With the unhoused community braced for a purge and the body count rising, Ethan is no longer just solving a murder. He's fighting a system designed to bury its secrets. In a race against those who view people as disposable, Ethan has one chance to expose the darkness of Wakefield Falls before the truth is buried for good.

Person
K.D. St. Jean writes from a farm on the outskirts of Abbotsford, British Columbia, where the mist of the Fraser Valley often mirrors the atmospheric tension of his prose. With a twenty-five-year background in mental health and addiction counseling, St. Jean brings a raw, psychological authenticity to the police procedural genre.
When he isn't crafting the dark corners of Wakefield Falls, he can be found spending time with his wife of thirty years, their two adult sons, and their two cats. Beneath the Falls is his first novel.
