But when Whiskers tracks down evidence no human could sniff out, and a second victim’s identity shakes the town''s foundation, Lila knows the truth may be more tangled than she ever imagined.
All signs seem to point to Herb, the station’s original owner, who conveniently vanished on a ‘sudden vacation’ just days before the body was found, leaving behind a station filled with secrets and a trail of unpaid bills. Whispers in town suggest his long-standing ties to Pauly Gram, the town’s most powerful developer, went far beyond businessperhaps into blackmail, betrayal, or something far worse.
Lila races to uncover the truth before history repeats itself. Because this wasn’t just a murder, it was a cover-up. One someone is willing to kill for again. The closer she gets to the truth, she realizes she’s being stalked by a true killer.
With time running out and the killer hiding in plain sight, one wrong move could turn Lila’s latest chapter into her last.
