Description

In the sweltering heat of Charleston, South Carolina, the disappearance of a twin daughter from one of the city’s most powerful families sets the town ablaze with scandal, secrets, and suspicion.

What begins as a missing persons case quickly spirals into a nightmare when a body is discovered in the treacherous depths of a local swamp, and Detective Beau Crenshaw realizes the horror he’s confronting is far older—and more personal—than he ever imagined.
The brutal, chilling murder mirrors the unsolved death of a young woman—Mary—killed over thirty years ago. A pattern too eerie to ignore, one that pulls Beau into the shadowy past of a town filled with buried lies. The chilling question gnaws at him: is this the same killer, somehow still haunting the streets, lying in wait for the perfect moment to strike again? Or has a deadly imitator emerged, a new predator who has studied the past and plans to repeat its horrors?

Haunted by his own demons, Beau races against time, determined to bring the killer to justice. But with every twist in the case, the stakes grow higher, the web of deception tightening, and the line between right and wrong blurs. With a second chance to solve a crime that has haunted him for years, Beau cannot afford to fail. The killer is out there—lurking, watching, and ready to claim his next victim.

What follows is a relentless descent into darkness, where secrets are weaponized, and trust is shattered, pushing Beau to the very edge of his sanity. This time, there will be no room for mistakes. The past will not stay buried, and neither will the deadly truth.
