Where Truth Lies Buried: A Novel of Deadly Secrets

By Silas Truft

Anna Riley sings the blues at The Blue Siren, pouring her heart out nightly. But when she discovers her closest friend, investigative journalist Liam, murdered in his apartment, the spotlight turns harsh and accusatory: the police consider her their prime suspect.

Grief-stricken and cornered, Anna knows Liam wasn't killed randomly. He spent his life digging into the murky history of Harborview's powerful founding families and the controversial deals that built their fortunes. He died because he got too close to a dangerous secret someone would kill to keep buried.

Now, to save herself, Anna must follow the faint trail Liam left behind-fragmented notes, whispered warnings, and the chilling realization that the city's polished surface hides decades of rot. As she delves deeper, threatening messages escalate to tangible danger, proving that the forces Liam provoked are still active, ruthless, and watching her every move.

Can a bar singer navigate a treacherous maze of lies and long-hidden corruption to clear her name and find justice for her friend? Or will she be the next voice silenced by Harborview's deadly secrets?
