The Green Apple Tree, (Paperback)

<p>In the summer of 1963, in the rugged heart of Texas Hill Country, three teenage boys roamed wild-pushing boundaries, testing fate, and soaking in the tall tales of weathered old men who'd seen too much. For Thomas, Pete, and Bennett, it was a summer of reckless freedom and fading innocence. But only two of them would grow up to remember it.</p><p></p><p>Fast forward to 1986. Thomas Kessler sits alone in a bar, nursing a cold beer and waiting for Pete-now a driven attorney and haunted by an unsolved double murder that shadows their shared past. Bennett vanished without a trace that same summer, and Thomas carries a truth he's never dared to tell... until now.</p><p></p><p>With time to kill and ghosts pressing in, Thomas drifts back into memory-back to that mysterious stone house littered with old Colts and Winchesters and whispered legends, the foul-mouthed gas station that offered a crude kind of wisdom, and the bluff overlooking a town full of secrets. As past and present collide, the question looms: how much do we really leave behind, and what never truly lets us go?</p>
