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.
