When mechanic Maeve Callahan returns to her Oregon hometown for her father's funeral, she expects grief, not questions. Tom Callahan spent twenty-two years at Halden Granite and was killed in what the company calls a tragic workplace accident. But the settlement offer arrives too fast, the casket stays closed, and the official story starts falling apart almost immediately.

Maeve knows enough about heavy equipment and blast mechanics to recognize when something doesn't add up. As she digs into quarry records, old safety complaints, and the secrets her father left behind, she uncovers a pattern of altered reports, unauthorized blasting, union pressure, and corporate decisions made at the expense of workers' lives.

What begins as a daughter's search for the truth becomes a fight against a company determined to bury the evidence. In a town where everyone knows everyone, loyalty can protect the guilty just as easily as it can expose them.

The Quarryman's Daughter is a tense, grounded suspense novel about grief, corruption, labor, and the cost of telling the truth when powerful people need silence.
