The Last Witness at Pine Ridge

Synopsis

Returning to her Pennsylvania hometown to care for her injured brother, journalist Ava McKenna discovers that her father's mine disaster was categorized in advance as worker fault. From an anonymously sent shift roster, she discovers that the official testimony is missing a night-shift electrician. Her stepfather, a safety consultant for the mining company and head of the town's charitable foundation, demands that Ava not ruin her family's life. Ava proactively publishes an investigation preview, establishes an anonymous testimony channel, and searches for the missing electrician. She ultimately discovers that her brother's accident was no coincidence, but that the mine had turned off its warning system to meet its schedule.
