The Secrets That Hide In Silence

By Phil Darwen

"The thing about secrets is, they don't stay buried forever. You can cover them with dirt, with time, with silence-but sooner or later, the truth finds its way to the surface. And when it does, it changes everything."

And so begins the story of a town that keeps its secrets buried and a boy who refuses to look away.

In the small, outback town of Clearwater, sixteen-year-old Finn Foggerty spends his days delivering newspapers and dreaming of becoming a writer. But when an innocent curiosity turns into a dangerous obsession, Finn stumbles upon a mystery that threatens to unravel everything he thought he knew-about his town, his family, and himself.

With his younger brother, Tom, and the reluctant help of the sheriff's estranged son, Ray, Finn digs deeper into a past the town would rather forget. But some truths don't come without a cost, and the closer Finn gets to the heart of the story, the more dangerous his world becomes.

Set against the backdrop of small-town rural Australia, The Secrets That Hide In Silence is an engaging tale of loyalty, betrayal, and the power of stories-both the ones we tell and the ones we're afraid to hear.
