Then Coco finds Ersilia's journal.
Inside are chilling clues that suggest a darker truth. As Coco delves deeper into the community's murky waters, she learns that things are not what they seem. To make things worse, she learns that these people are connected to her own mother's death years before.
Coco must risk everything to expose the truth before she becomes the next target. As she fights to bring justice to the silenced, Coco will discover that some battles don't end with a funeral. They begin there.
