On the morning of February 12, 1999, a single line of footprints appears in the snow-covered town square of Weslington, Massachusetts. They begin at the center of town-no origin, no approach-and lead across fences, rooftops, and locked doors before vanishing at the frozen river's edge.
Detective Mara Ellery, newly returned to her childhood town, is assigned the case. But what begins as a strange anomaly quickly spirals into something far older and far more personal. Locals whisper about the Walker-a figure from Weslington folklore said to appear during winters of transition, searching for something it lost. The footprints match boots worn by miners in the 1800s. The knocking begins at 3:17 a.m. And the path leads straight to the sealed entrance of the mine where Mara's father disappeared twenty-one years ago.
As the footprints reappear night after night, forming a spiral across the town, Mara must confront the truth she buried long ago: the Walker is not a ghost. It's a memory. And it's not finished.
Where the Footprints End is a haunting supernatural mystery steeped in folklore, grief, and the quiet terror of unfinished stories. Perfect for fans of The Silent Companions, The Drowning Kind, and The Winter People, this atmospheric novel will linger long after the last page.
