Short Book Description
In the quiet coastal town of Blackwood, archivist Amelia Whitmore has built her life around order, silence, and the preservation of the past. Her marriage to the meticulous and emotionally distant Silas Everett seems stable—if cold—until she discovers a pristine black funeral suit hidden in their basement, stained with damp earth and scented with church incense.
Soon, strange patterns begin to emerge.
Obituaries marked with careful pencil strokes. Secret Sunday disappearances. A hidden leather ledger filled with the names of dead women and detailed maps of their graves.
As Amelia digs deeper into her husband’s carefully constructed life, she uncovers a horrifying truth: Silas is not merely fascinated by death—he mourns it with terrifying devotion.
Trapped inside a marriage built on silence and deception, Amelia realizes she may not be investigating a stranger after all.
She may be living with a killer.
