But what has rooted instead is the fine line between hate and forgiveness,
torturing her soul with questions forever left unanswered.
And that’s the most treacherous tightrope of all…”

Keeping a secret is easy. Getting away with it is the hard part.
Daniel Richardson devoted his entire life to building on and protecting his grandfather's legacy, nurturing his family's prominent reputation as master builders in the safe coastal town of Weyport.
But, as the horrific discovery of a body in the foundations of a house on the outskirts of town sends shockwaves through the peaceful community, ancient secrets claw their way back to the surface and threaten to destroy all he's worked so hard to protect.
Because in the depths of his soul, Daniel guards a secret he's managed to keep hidden for eighteen years.
With his family name suddenly threatened, he struggles to conceal what he knows, doing everything that he can to keep his secret hidden. But when a seemingly random accident lands him in the hospital, it appears he'll be taking his secret to the grave.
Meanwhile the revelation of critical DNA evidence throws the investigation into disarray, linking it to a disturbing cold case that has Sheriff Angus Reid looking into many suspects in the unexplained murder, including Daniel.
As Reid investigates further, he unravels a tangled web of deception and intrigue concealed underneath the town's peaceful appearance. Every twist discloses more terrifying facts, and the closer he gets to the truth, the more perilous it becomes.
One by one, layers of twisted lies and long-kept secrets bubble to the surface.
But will Reid be able to track down the murderer before it's too late?
Daniel's Oil is a suspenseful, faith-filled murder mystery that will keep you guessing until the end.
