A Very Bad Thing: Secrets Beneath the Surface

By L.J. Emerson

In the quiet, seemingly peaceful town of Blackwood, a dark and twisted secret lies buried beneath the surface. When Detective Callie Morgan is called to investigate the brutal murder of a local man, she soon uncovers a series of shocking truths that connect the present crime to a long-forgotten tragedy from two decades ago. As she delves deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a tangled web of lies, betrayals, and dark pasts that threaten not only her career but also her very life.

As Callie confronts suspects, navigates a town full of secrets, and faces a killer who seems to be always one step ahead, she begins to question whether justice is truly attainable or if some secrets are too dangerous to uncover. With every twist and turn, the line between right and wrong blurs, and Callie must make an impossible choice: seek the truth at any cost, or protect the town that raised her from its own demons.

"A Very Bad Thing" is a gripping mystery thriller filled with suspense, dark twists, and an unforgettable climax. Prepare to be hooked from the very first page as you unravel the secrets of Blackwood-where nothing is as it seems, and no one is who they appear to be.
