ECHO 1953
In the winter of 1953, a young woman named Alma Kirchner disappears from Eau Claire, Wisconsin. No arrest. No answers. No justice. The case fades into history.
Seventy years later, twenty-three-year-old Lena Monroe vanishes from a babysitting job in the lakeside city of Lakepoint, Michigan.
Two cases. Seventy years apart. No apparent connection.
When Lena's sister Claire refuses to accept that Lena's case has gone cold, her search for answers leads her to Mari Hollis - a former investigative journalist turned private investigator - and Mari's husband Eli, a twenty-five-year FBI veteran. What begins as a missing persons case in the present quickly becomes something far more dangerous.
Mari and Eli don't just find leads. They find a direct link between Lena Monroe and Alma Kirchner - a thread stretching across seven decades, connecting two women who at first glance, have nothing to do with each other.
What that thread reveals reshapes everything.
As threats surface, the question is no longer who took Lena - but what kind of machinery could operate across geographies and decades. And how many voices have already been silenced to protect it.
Echo 1953 is the first book in a gripping procedural thriller series about buried histories, inherited violence, and the terrifying endurance of secrets that refuse to die.
