On Tour 10/20/25-11/29/25 “In The Bones” by Tessa Wegert

Release Date: November 4, 2025

About The Book:

It’s almost summer in Cape Vincent, and as the heat rises, ex-professional ice hockey superstar Mikko Helle arrives, ready to move into his extravagantly renovated waterfront home. Mikko is 30, handsome, and wealthy. He’s a stranger in town. There’s no reason to suspect he’s anything other than he seems.

Local married mother-of-two Nicole Durham works her connections hard to get hired as his cleaner. She needs this job―and not just because of the money. Nicole is desperate to expose a secret, and she’s running out of time.

But when Nicole disturbs an intruder while cleaning, New York State Police Investigator Tim Wellington discovers that the luxury mansion is hiding its own unthinkable truth. Deep in the basement lie the bones of a young woman, identity unknown.

The celebrity athlete. The local. The thief. Everyone is hiding something―but someone in the North Country’s a ruthless killer, and one of the three knows exactly who it is.

Book Blurbs:

“Tessa Wegert masterfully blends atmospheric tension with deeply layered character development. Her sharp, evocative prose grips from the first page and never lets go.” — Liv Constantine, New York Times bestselling author

“A compelling set of twin mysteries set the stage for In the Bones, as New York state police investigate the case of a missing woman and a dead one. Wegert is a genius at laying out puzzle pieces for readers to put together, while also creating a world of deeply relatable characters with complex familial and socioeconomic dynamics. I can’t wait for my next visit to the North Country!” — Mindy Mejia, USA Today bestselling author of To Catch a Storm and A World of Hurt

“Prepare to neglect your job, your pets, and your errands because In the Bones is impossible to stop reading. Wegert is a master plotter—just when you think you’ve solved her puzzle, she wrongfoots you again! I write twists for a living and still didn’t see that ending coming. An absolute knockout.” — Stephanie Wrobel, bestselling author of The Hitchcock Hotel
