Determined to solve their cases before each other, they race through old case files, interview forgotten witnesses, and uncover evidence everyone else overlooked. But the deeper they dig, the stranger things become. Clues from two completely different investigations begin pointing toward the same shadowy criminal organization, forcing them to question everything they thought they knew. As buried secrets slowly surface, the line between investigator and victim begins to blur.

A psychological crime thriller filled with mystery, rivalry, hidden identities, unexpected twists, and a slow burn romance where the past refuses to stay buried.

Every July, someone disappears. For years, the small town of Ashridge has buried its secrets alongside its victims. Missing person cases pile up, families are left with unanswered questions, and every summer the town pretends nothing happened. Until this year. When Investigator Loriah Griego's best friend, Hannah, is found murdered, everything changes. The department refuses to let Loriah lead the investigation. They say she's too close to the victim. Too emotional. Too blinded by grief. They're wrong. Because no one knew Hannah like Loriah did. Ignoring every warning and risking her badge, her career, and even her own life, Loriah begins uncovering secrets the town has spent decades hiding. Every clue leads to another lie. Every suspect has something to hide. And with every answer she finds, another person disappears. Someone is always watching. Someone knows she's getting closer. And they'll do anything to make sure Hannah's case stays buried forever. But Loriah has made one promise she refuses to break: Even if it takes my last breath... I will find the person who murdered my best friend. In a town where every July claims another victim, the biggest question isn't who did it... It's whether Loriah will survive long enough to uncover the truth.

What began as a quiet life in a Texas farmland soon unravels into a rabbit hole, leading to a generational descent into a war-hardened myth of humanity, monsters, and untold memories. In Tales Before Founding, this story reveals the Klavinsky family's blood-stained history into one of the world's most secretive organizations - where the truth remains locked away behind lock and key amongst the higher-ups in society, records meant for the history books remain buried, and some legacies refuse to die. This is not just a story about a family, but the organization that was built because of what had happened for one of many.

How can cases just simply seem like the past and become nothing but a cold case?
