With the sale of a startup poised to revive his career, Ry Birk's future is finally within reach—until the echoes of a decades-old plane crash threaten everything he's worked to rebuild. Ry and his tightly knit circle of childhood friends have spent years guarding a shared past of guilt, silence, and moral compromise. Now that past has come looking for them.
As the line between justice and vengeance blurs, Ry finds himself trapped in a web of long-buried secrets, where every answer reveals another lie. He soon discovers that some debts are never forgotten—and that someone is willing to kill to settle them.
A psychological thriller set in contemporary Chicago, Ripples In Their Wake is a story of tested loyalties, impossible choices, and the devastating consequences of a past that refuses to stay buried.
