In the quiet, unassuming town of Oakhaven, the sudden death of its beloved librarian, Mr. Abernathy, is initially ruled a suicide. But for sixteen-year-old Maya, who practically grew up among the dusty shelves and whispered stories of the Oakhaven Library, something doesn't add up. Mr. Abernathy was a pillar of the community, a man who knew everyone's secrets but never judged. His quiet life seemed far from one that would end in despair. Driven by a nagging suspicion and an insatiable curiosity, Maya begins to unearth a trail of cryptic clues hidden within the library's archives and the town's hushed conversations. She soon discovers that Mr. Abernathy's death was no accident. He didn't take his own life; he took the fall for Oakhaven's darkest secrets, silently shouldering the blame for the transgressions of its most prominent citizens. As Maya delves deeper, she finds herself entangled in a web of deceit, betrayal, and long-buried sins, forcing her to confront the true nature of heroism and the devastating cost of keeping secrets.
