When Mountains Crumbled–The Landslide

The truth changed everything and now Faith Ansley must live with the consequences. She wakes in a hospital bed, her memory fractured and the last few months lost to confusion. The friends she trusts most help her piece together the violent home invasion that put her there. But one face is missing—the man she loves.

As fragmented memories return, Faith realizes the truth she fought so hard to uncover has left her questioning reality—and herself. The covert world she was pulled into thrives on secrecy, erased evidence, and ruthless control. When she searches for the man taken from her home, a voice masked by encryption delivers threats and impossible ultimatums. “Stop digging. Or pay the price.”

Because someone is watching. And this time, they’re not just taking lives—they’re coming for everything.

In this gripping follow-up to When Mountains Crumble, Faith must navigate the wreckage of what was real, what was stolen, and what remains buried beneath the landslide.

About the Author

Claudine DiScala

I write psychological suspense where secrets refuse to stay buried, memory can't be trusted, and the truth is rarely what it seems.

After spending twenty years as a licensed private investigator in New York, I learned that the most compelling mysteries aren't just about what happened—they're about why people hide the truth. Combined with a B.A. in Political Science and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice, those experiences inspire stories where where memory can't be trusted, hidden truths reshape lives, and every revelation comes with consequences.

I'm the author of The Fractured Truth Series, including the Literary Titan Silver Award-winning When Mountains Crumble and its sequel, When Mountains Crumbled: The Landslide.

If you enjoy psychological suspense with unreliable memories, compelling mysteries, emotionally complex characters, and twists that linger long after the final page, I think you'll feel right at home in The Fractured Truth Series.
