Silent All These Years

It’s the twelfth anniversary of Meadow Milton’s murder, and Waverly Jones is at last taking on the missing person case of Detective Sebastian Kyle.

Given both his former position in law enforcement and proximity to notorious—and now-dormant—serial killer The Crossroads Butcher, the case should be at the top of everyone’s priority list. But with the enemies Waverly Jones Investigative Services has made with the local authorities after uncovering corruption on the force, the inquiry into Sebastian’s disappearance—and who was responsible—has hit a standstill. Now Waverly’s determined to get some long-awaited answers as she delves into his past—both professional and personal.

Meadow’s anniversary dredges up skeletons everyone has kept buried, however, and Waverly isn’t innocent either. A true-crime podcast, bolstered by online rumours, is about to drop a bombshell, suggesting old choices—including a murder—are catching up with her. There’s precisely one revelation that could threaten not only the career she’s built but the friendship she now has with the only man she’s ever loved, and the clock is ticking down to when they expose their suspicions to everyone…

Unless someone stops them permanently.
