Some doors are locked to protect what is inside. Others are locked to keep the truth from getting out.
Ashcroft House has stood empty for nearly forty years, surrounded by stories of strange lights, unexplained music, and the wealthy banker who vanished without a trace.
When Detective Thompson is asked to oversee the estate before it is sold, he brings four young investigators he has learned to trust: Jake Harper, Emily Carter, Amy Bell, and Max Turner. Their inspection takes an unexpected turn when Jake discovers a concealed door behind the library shelves. The room beyond appears on no blueprint, and someone has recently been inside.
Old photographs. A coded Bible. A locked cedar chest. Muddy footprints that disappear at a solid wall.
With Mia Torres and Chip Bennett joining the investigation, the team uncovers evidence of a decades-old land fraud that could clear Harold Ashcroft's name. Yet someone in Crescent Valley has spent years making certain the truth remains hidden.
The Young Investigators are no longer solving a forty-year-old mystery. They are interrupting one that never ended.
Behind the Door is a warm young adult Christian mystery about friendship, courage, patience, and bringing long-hidden truth into the light.
