Once a thriving mining community, Blackwood is now a desolate ruin, a place where shadows linger and secrets fester. When private investigator Ellie Vance is hired to look into the decades-old disappearance of schoolteacher Lillian Hayes, she's drawn into a labyrinth of hidden histories and long-buried lies. The deeper Ellie digs, the more unsettling the town becomes ? whispers in the wind, phantom figures in the ruins, and a chilling sense that she's not alone in her search. As a deadly conspiracy unravels and a mysterious figure known only as "The Whisper" stalks her every move, Ellie must confront not only Blackwood's dark past, but also her own inner demons. Can she uncover the truth before the town's ghosts claim her as their own? Or will Blackwood's echoes silence her forever?
