Echoes of Midnight (Paperback)

In North Hollow, people know each other's routines, their family names, and which doors stay locked after dark.

So when Lily Greene's best friend disappears without warning, the town doesn't just panic-it closes ranks.

The sheriff has no answers. Rumors spread faster than facts. And then Lily receives a cryptic postcard that seems to know exactly what happened... or wants her to believe it does.

Her only lead is a brooding rancher with secrets of his own, a man who might help her uncover the truth-or bury it for good.

As Lily follows one clue after another, she's forced to confront a chilling possibility: in North Hollow, this wasn't a random disappearance. It was a message.

Every conversation carries subtext. Every familiar face starts to look suspicious. Every truth she uncovers exposes an even darker one beneath it.

The deeper Lily digs, the more the postcard reads like a countdown. Someone is watching her every move. Someone knows the history North Hollow buried years ago. And someone is willing to manipulate evidence, weaponize fear, and silence witnesses before Lily can connect the final pieces.

What begins as a desperate search for one missing woman becomes a race against a system of lies that reaches into homes, businesses, and old loyalties the town treats as untouchable.
