About this listen

Number one Amazon New Release in "Mystery" after third week of being published.

The Golden Road cuts through 50 miles of Maine’s wilderness part asphalt, part dirt, all shadow. It’s the last man-made line before the forest takes everything back. Beyond it, maps blur, signals die, and people disappear.

Cal Thorne swore he’d never return. Twenty years ago, his brother vanished out here, another cold case written off as a hiker gone wrong. But when new signs surface, Cal shoulders his pack and steps off the road in search of answers.

What he finds is a world of vanished trail markers, stolen food caches, and nights haunted by whistles that feel too close. Starvation, predators, and something else, something that has been waiting in the pines.

Rustic, harrowing, and unforgettable, The Golden Road is a survival thriller where the wilderness itself feels alive and it never lets go.
