Overview

In the quiet town of Prairie Gate, a land auction exposes an old fracture - a missing acre, a buried deed, and a silence that has lasted half a century. When a red survey stake appears overnight on the edge of a forgotten field, mechanic Cal Mercer is drawn into a mystery older than his family's name. The deeper he digs, the more he uncovers about the town's buried past - forged signatures, vanished oil leases, and the ghost of a boy who disappeared when the land was first divided. With the help of Claire, a determined attorney; Jessa, a reporter chasing truth in the shadows; and Ellie Mae, the farm girl who hears what the wind carries, Cal follows a trail of quiet betrayals and unspoken debts that lead to the fifth acre no one was meant to find. Set against the fields and creeks of southern Illinois, Beneath the Split Acre is a regional mystery about the weight of inheritance, the lies buried beneath familiar ground, and the courage it takes to listen when the land finally speaks.
