Brownstone

By Matthew Goodman

A crumbling brownstone. A fractured family. A secret that refuses to stay buried.

Mike Barnes is a down-and-out graphic novelist living under the roof of his globe-trotting ex, Hadley Twysden. While she's away chasing distractions, Mike finds purpose in looking after her precocious son Jake. But the household is far from stable. Sharing the space are Hadley's manipulative ex-husband Robert and his venomous partner Cambel-two men playing a quiet, bitter game for control.

Across the street, the mirror-image of Hadley's home stands in silence, awaiting the return of Mase Fitzgerald from prison. The name alone is enough to crack the fragile calm inside the house.

Built in 1899 by Hadley's great-grandfather, the twin brownstones once hid a secret life-and maybe still do. Rumors of hidden tunnels. Stolen artwork. A fortune lost to time. And someone in the house is willing to risk everything to find it.

As paranoia builds and alliances shift, the line between truth and deception blurs. What begins as a search becomes something else entirely. Something far more dangerous.

Dark, stylish, and unnervingly intimate, Brownstone is a slow-burn thriller that peels back the walls of privilege and loyalty to reveal how far people will go-and who they'll betray-when the truth surfaces.
