A new crime thriller with a true-crime edge, perfect for readers who love cold cases and small-town secrets.
Cassie Roycroft is desperate for a fresh start, and the move to a quiet coastal town seems ideal until she discovers she's living only minutes from the site of three unsolved teenage murders. What begins as a grim curiosity quickly becomes something more when she meets Sam Pearce, the shy local boy whose brother is serving time for the killings.
Working at the local paper gives Cassie access to the case in a way she never expected, and the deeper she digs, the more inconsistencies she uncovers. Witness statements clash, timelines shift, and the official narrative begins to crack. Cassie soon finds herself questioning whether the police ever had the right suspect at all.
If the wrong man is behind bars, the real killer is still out there, watching the town, studying the people who get too close, and quietly choosing who comes next - and Cassie may already be on his radar.
