It’s coming! My brand new 360-page novel, “The Seventh Echo,” arrives later this summer. I’m so excited to unveil the first trailer for the new book.

Here is the synopsis:

“Some Truths Refuse To Stay Buried”

When Dan Mercer is assigned to oversee the redevelopment of the long-abandoned Iron Forge industrial site, it should be a routine final project. But beneath the surface, something is dreadfully wrong.

Toxic chemicals lie within the soil—unreported, spreading and dangerously unstable. The official records say the land is safe. Reality tells a different story.

And then there’s the boy. Seven years old. Watching from a distance no one else can see, who issues a dire warning:

You’re going to wake it up!

As Dan digs deeper into the contamination—and the corporate effort to conceal it—the past begins to resurface. A memory buried so deeply it was never meant to be found.

With construction set to begin and powerful forces closing in, Dan must uncover the truth before it’s sealed beneath concrete forever.

Part environmental thriller, part supernatural mystery, and part exploration of memory, guilt, and redemption, The Seventh Echo is a haunting suspense novel about the secrets we bury—and the echoes they leave behind.

Advance Reader Praise for “The Seventh Echo”:

“James Wood delivers a slow-burning suspense novel that quietly gets under your skin before tightening its grip. The ending is one you’ll be thinking about long after you close the book.”

“A genuine page-turner.”

“A chilling journey into supernatural suspense that builds patiently toward an unforgettable finale.”
