WELCOME TO stone COUNTY, MONTANA.
Home of a little town named Anderson and a whole lot of mystery.
In the shadow of murder, secrets come to light.

Stone County deputy Tom Edwards discovers the frozen corpses of a local couple bound to chairs at their home in the Moonlight Mountains. The couple’s son and daughter-in-law soon go missing, the only clue a puddle of blood. A tragic bus accident and embezzled church funds add suspects and complicate motives.

A grisly murder shatters the tranquility of a small Montana town.
Arriving early one morning to open for business, the baker’s wife walks into a bloody scene, a body, and a missing husband. Later that afternoon, a beloved town patriarch and sapphire dealer is found hanging from the balcony in his historic mansion. On first observation, it looks like suicide. An autopsy points to murder. Further investigation reveals the victim’s inventory of valuable sapphires is missing. Are the two deaths related?
An invasion of Russian Mafia thugs and a string of threatening notes complicate matters. Sheriff Peter Elliott and his crew, more familiar with wayward cows and drunken brawls, dust off their investigative skills and hurry to solve the case before more town folk fall victim.
Young women have gone missing and unmissed, until the wrong one disappears.
The tranquility of tiny Anderson Montana is once again shattered when pampered Stacey Nichols disappears after a quarrel with her boyfriend.
Clues are few and flimsy, but newly hired deputy, Birdie Bradshaw, has more than a professional interest in the case. Digging through old records, she uncovers evidence of similar disappearances going back decades.
While a battered Stacey plots ways to escape her abusive abductor, Anderson deputies struggle to unravel the mystery of her disappearance.
Sheriff Peter Elliott faces a ticking clock, self-doubt, and bad press in his race to find Stacey before it’s too late.
One murdered, one missing, and an entire town full of suspects.
Scrappers find the body of a much-despised junk man, covered in grass clippings and a rogue kiddie pool, at the local dump. In the process of the murder investigation, Sheriff Peter Elliott discovers the residents of Stone County, Montana are hiding a shameful secret.
An antique serving fork points the way to a world of greed and betrayal. Nothing is off the table, including the murder of Peter and his deputies and the team risks losing one of their own as they get closer to the truth.
