A New York Times bestseller | Barnes & Noble Book Club selection (April 2026)

In a former mining town in eastern Pennsylvania, the discovery of a child’s shoe in a collapsed tunnel reopens a case that had been closed for thirty years. A detective, a journalist, and the daughter of the man who may have buried the truth must find a way forward — together or not at all.

What We Buried There is Eleanor Voss’s most ambitious novel yet: a story about how communities hold their secrets and at what cost.

“Magnificent. Voss has written the rare kind of thriller that is also genuine literature.” — The Atlantic
