Lighthouse Burning (Harlan Winter)

In a small Appalachian town, an amateur detective unearths a dark conspiracy and his own haunted past, in a chilling novel about sacrifice, art, and revenge. Med school dropout Harlan Winter returns to his impoverished West Virginia hometown, where the law is scarce, arsonists are turning everything to ash, and his family's turbulent history lingers. All he wants is to keep the peace in a community cowering from the Lighthouse, a local cult preying on people's fears. Harlan's own fears, too, when he's hired to play detective and find a young couple gone missing. The vanished artist and his girlfriend have left behind a series of paintings that enrage the Lighthouse's Pastor Logan, who believes art can have divine power. It's not easy to believe for a rational man like Harlan. And impossible to ignore when his investigation is haunted by visions of the dead lurking in the shadows of his own violent past. Revelations about the disappearances are being unearthed. The Lighthouse's grip on the community is tightening. And Harlan fears he's losing control. As the threats against his town, his sanity, and his life begin to mount, Harlan doesn't know which is more terrifying: what's real, or what's in his mind.
