Halloran Doyle, a disgraced police officer is found dead in Sherfield High's pool, in November of 1977. 

After Judy's father is killed, it seems as if the tiny town of Sherfield will forget the scandal that followed Officer Halloran and his family after he was seen raping a young girl named Betty Davis three months before his wife was due to give birth. However, as the town triples in size over the next twenty years, and all trouble has been buried under such a rapid growth, retired police officers have begun turning up dead, all in a similar manner.

Judy, who has just graduated from the police academy herself, is tasked with unravelling the mystery of what happened to her father's colleagues, realise that he was not the only rogue officer in the force, and uncover a mystery that this formerly sleepy Alabama town had so desperately tried to keep hidden.All Rights Reserved

The Hollow Sound by Michael_nodojr

This is not an easy book to read. It shouldn't be. The halls of Hartman High are fiction. The echoes of gunfire you will hear are conjured by words. But the silence that follows - the hollow, reverberating silence of after- is a soundscape tragically familiar across our fractured world. It lives not just in communities shattered by Parkland, Uvalde, or Columbine, but in the streets of London after a frenzied stabbing spree, on the promenades of Nice where a truck plowed into crowds, in the markets of Baghdad ravaged by suicide vests, and in the bombed-out apartments of Kyiv. It lives wherever ideology, despair, or untreated rage erupts into violence that consumes the innocent. The Hollow Sound is a story born from a specific nightmare - a school shooting - but its terrifying resonance echoes a far wider, accelerating crisis. We are living in an age where violence metastasizes. Stabbings driven by personal vendettas or gang hatred spill onto our streets. Vehicles become weapons aimed at crowds by those claiming a "greater good." Suicide bombings, once distant horrors "over there," now represent a chillingly portable template for terror, a threat that ignores borders and could manifest anywhere, anytime. The drumbeat of war grows louder, promising only more shattered lives and deeper societal wounds. Radicalism, both political and personal, twists belief into justification for carnage. Terrorism, foreign and domestic, thrives in the fertile ground of alienation and grievance. Hartman High is fiction. But the underlying disease is global and terrifyingly real: The pervasive belief that violence is a valid solution; that inflicting pain on others can answer pain within; that destruction is the only path to being seen or heard.
