Eleanor's Creek

<p>Sinister roots run deep in the quiet town of Cordale buried beneath the farmland of Central Illinois - roots that reach back to a day the town would rather forget.</p><p>In 1968 during a frenzied May Day Revival fifteen-year-old Eleanor Pratchett was drowned in Dolton Creek under the hand of a zealot preacher and the watch of a town consumed. A handful resisted. Most did not.</p><p>Decades later journalist Kenneth Holden arrives unaware of how deep those roots run. What begins as curiosity soon turns dangerous as old wounds reopen and long-buried truths rise to the surface.</p><p>When the storms roll in so does she. And with each passing day they come more often.</p><p>Eleanor is no longer a memory. The creek has awakened-and it remembers.</p><p>As Kenneth searches for answers he is pulled into something far older than guilt and far more unforgiving than truth.</p><p>In Cordale nothing stays buried and time does not pass cleanly.</p><p>It circles. It waits.</p><p>And the creek has started killing again.</p>
