Some towns hide secrets. Silverwood buries them in layers of lies, legend, and blood.
Ethan Carver, a haunted city detective running from the ghosts of his past, seeks refuge in the remote, picturesque mountain town of Silverwood. Taking the vacant Sheriff position seems like a path to peace, a place where the towering pines and close-knit community can offer solace. But the tranquility is a facade.
On his first night, the town's most prominent citizen, Arthur Blackwood, is found dead in his locked study - shot in the temple, the weapon vanished. The idyllic surface of Silverwood cracks, revealing a deep vein of paranoia, mistrust, and whispers of an ancient legend: the Guardian of the Mountains, said to protect the valley's secrets.
As Ethan investigates, he's pulled deeper into a labyrinth of deceit. The victim was delving into the town's dark origins, uncovering evidence of a secret society, the Brotherhood, founded by criminals and guarded for generations. From the enigmatic hotelier warning him away, to the victim's strangely composed widow and ambitious son, everyone seems to be hiding something.
When the body count rises, and Ethan himself becomes a target - hunted in the woods, his apartment incinerated in a deliberate blaze - he realizes the conspiracy isn't just historical. It's lethally active. Forced to confront his own unexpected, devastating connection to the town's founding, Ethan must navigate a treacherous path littered with false trails, shocking betrayals, and a killer who always seems one step ahead.
In a town built on silence, can one man expose the truth before he becomes Silverwood's next victim? Shadows over Silverwood is a gripping, atmospheric mystery thriller, perfect for readers who love intricate plots, brooding landscapes, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
