Description for The Smoke Beneath

Four years ago, Jay's world fell apart when his mother vanished without a trace. The only clue he had was a strange, dark smoke creeping from under her bedroom door-a detail no one believed. Since then, Jay has lived with more questions than answers and a father too broken to help.

Just as he's ready to give up, a cryptic clue from his mother's old notebook leads him to a long-abandoned factory near Verdant Lake-a place linked to mysterious smoke sightings and eerie disappearances.

Determined to uncover the truth, Jay embarks on a dangerous journey, uncovering secrets buried deep in his town's history. But as the lines between reality and nightmare blur, Jay realizes that some truths might be darker-and deadlier-than he ever imagined.

Perfected for fans of suspense, The Smoke Beneath is a gripping tale of resilience, mystery, and the lengths we'll go to for the ones we love.All Rights Reserved
