    Thornfield Academy has always been known as a prestigious school where students prepare for Ivy League colleges. It exudes an aura of perfection and smooth operation. But was it ever truly that perfect, or has the reality always been concealed and overlooked? Everything changed when the disappearance of an important family's daughter became impossible to ignore. Elysia Damico is in her senior year, managing a new friend who transferred to Thornfield after her best friend disappeared, all while serving as president of the student council. Amari Cazares, a detective, is sent undercover as a teacher at Thornfield Academy, where a student disappeared under suspicious circumstances. As she delves deeper into the environment, she realizes there are many more reasons for her assignment-to confront the wealthy 18-year-olds who tend to maintain control in their school, sometimes excessively so.

    "𝘽𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙨 - today, August 25th, 1997, another missing persons was reported in the town of Lost Lamb, North Carolina. The victim is 16-year-old Sabrina Sullivan, who was visiting Persimmon National Park with family at the time of her disappearance. Despite being in close-proximity to her parents when she went missing, there were no witnesses at the scene. Currently, there is no evidence to suggest foul play. Her mysterious vanishment has re-sparked concerns over what locals of Lost Lamb have deemed "Forest 411", or Persimmon (National) Park. This nickname is survived by the twenty-five other unsolved missing persons cases that have been traced back to the area. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐒𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐧, 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐋𝐚𝐦𝐛 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲." That was twenty years ago, and thirteen other people have gone missing in Persimmon National Park since. Men, women, children, and the elderly have vanished under strange circumstances in Lost Lamb, without a thread of similarity to tie them together. In regard to those who have disappeared, all the cases share only two aspects: every person vanished in the woods, and all their cases remain unsolved. Detective Redmond 'Red' Sullivan has returned to the small Carolina town after a twenty year absence, desperate for answers. He isn't leaving until he finds out what happened to his cousin on that idyllic summer's day, two decades ago. The trouble is, the thing that lurks inside Forest 411 has been waiting for Red for twenty years.

    In the quiet, historical city of Newford, a brutal murder shatters the peace. But Chief of Detectives Miles Corbin quickly finds this is no ordinary crime. An ancient, unsettling symbol-a faint dragon etched into a victim's wall-whispers of a past long buried. Meanwhile, across the city, Chief Officer Alex Miller is drawn to an old, secluded estate where methodical digging has disturbed the earth, unearthing a mysterious locket bearing a chillingly similar design. As their separate investigations pull them into a web of forgotten claims and hidden histories, Miles and Alex discover their cases are terrifyingly intertwined. Someone is willing to kill to keep an inconvenient truth about Newford's very foundations from seeing the light. But what if the past they're chasing isn't just history, but a living echo, reaching out for them with deadly intent? And what if the deepest secrets lie closer than they could ever imagine?

    In Portsmouth, 2001, a brutal murder shocks the city. Wealthy antiques dealer Raymond Chalke is found dead in his study, his throat slit, and a cryptic note left beside his body-written in an obscure mix of Flemish and Latin. Inspector Hendrik Huybrechts, a meticulous French detective now working with Hampshire Constabulary, is assigned to the case. With the help of his sharp yet skeptical British partner, DS Evelyn Carter, and the young forensic analyst Tommy Grayson, Huybrechts uncovers a tangled web of rivalries, fraud, and betrayal. Chalke had been involved in smuggling stolen artifacts, and his death may be linked to a lost 16th-century manuscript. As Huybrechts deciphers the note and investigates Chalke's business dealings, more bodies pile up. Every clue points toward a shadowy figure known only as "The Archivist", a ruthless collector willing to kill for the rarest historical treasures. But in a city full of secrets, the real killer may be closer than anyone suspects...
