Three generations. Fifty years of silence. One podcast that tears it all apart. In 1972, a girl disappears. In 1981, another name is added to the archives. Now, fourteen-year-old Freya is pulling threads she was never meant to find — and someone needs her questions to stop. Right now.
A gripping, multi-layered domestic noir that will keep you guessing until the final, breathless page.
Get it on Amazon1972. A girl disappears, and a shadow falls over a family home. 1981. Another name is added to the archives — a tragedy passed off as an accident.
Now, fourteen-year-old Freya thinks she's just listening to a hit true crime podcast. But the chilling details match the unsettling whispers she's overheard her entire life. Armed with a dangerous curiosity, Freya starts pulling at the threads of her family's past — and her digging hasn't gone unnoticed.
When a sudden, terrifying flash of hostility targets her out of the dark, it becomes instantly clear: someone needs Freya's questions to stop. As investigator Diane circles the family to untangle the historical trail, she realises she isn't looking at a dead case — she's looking at a living, breathing trap.
In a family built on fifty years of illusions, the danger isn't just the buried history. It's what's waiting in the shadows.
A girl vanishes, and a shadow settles over the family home that never quite lifts.
Another name enters the archives. The file is closed. The whispers are not.
A podcast episode. A detail too familiar. A fourteen-year-old who won't stop asking questions — even as the dark starts asking back.
