Man in the Heavy Coat
Cold Hollow is a town that remembers too little and forgets too fast. A low-rank officer is given a simple job: sort old crime files. What he finds is not simple. Missing children, the same strange weather, the same broken reports stretching back decades.
He follows those files into the town's quiet places - an old woman who warns him, a witness who comes back hollow, a leather diary tucked beneath a floorboard. The more he reads, the more the case stops being about paper and starts being about him. Nightmares come. Small, terrible signs follow. A reflection in a mirror doesn't look like the man he knows. A hand in the mud raises a question he does not want to answer.
There is a name that people half-whisper: the Man in the Heavy Coat. No one can agree if he is a real person, a story, or something that grows inside a man who has lost everything.
How far would you go to keep the truth buried - and what happens if the thing you try to hide has already put on your skin?
