When the body of respected journalist Clara Wynne is discovered in the quiet town of Hollow Creek, the case stuns the community. Her death appears accidental—until a cryptic letter surfaces, written just days before she died, warning of a secret too dangerous to expose. Disgraced detective Elias Crowe, now a private investigator, is reluctantly pulled back into the spotlight when Clara's sister, *Mira Wynne*, begs him to uncover the truth. As Elias digs deeper, he uncovers a tangled web of political corruption, hidden affairs, and long-buried grudges involving the town’s elite—especially the charming but secretive mayor, *Gideon Thorne*. With each clue, the danger intensifies. Someone is watching. Someone will kill again to keep the past buried. And Clara's final story might just cost Elias his life.
