She was supposed to say, "I do."
Instead, she arrived at a police station wearing her wedding dress, drenched by the rain, terrified, and begging Detective Inspector Reid Lawson for help.
Before she could tell him the truth...
She disappeared.
What begins as the search for a missing bride quickly turns into something far more sinister. As Reid digs deeper, he uncovers a tangled web of family secrets, betrayal, greed, and murder. Every clue reveals another lie, every witness hides something, and every answer raises a more dangerous question.
The deeper Reid investigates, the more he realises that the truth has been buried for years-and someone will kill anyone who gets too close to uncovering it.
With innocent lives hanging in the balance and a ruthless killer always one step ahead, Reid must race against time before history repeats itself.
Because not every love story has a happy ending...
Some end in blood.
And some echoes...
Never fade.
