J B Bolton: What Cannot Remain, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Doyle Henderson came to Meridian University for the quiet.

A former psychiatric nurse carrying the scars of a tragedy he rarely speaks about, Doyle spends his nights patrolling the university's historic grounds with Bosco, his loyal service dog. In the old town of Ashcombe, where family names linger for generations and traditions are treated like laws, routine is a kind of survival.

Then a murder shatters that routine.

As fear spreads through the campus and speculation grips the town, Doyle finds himself pulled into a mystery that feels disturbingly familiar. What begins as a single act of violence soon reveals deeper currents beneath Ashcombe's carefully preserved surface: old loyalties, hidden histories, and beliefs that refuse to stay buried.

Caught between his troubled past and a growing pattern he cannot ignore, Doyle must confront a truth he has spent years avoiding: sometimes the most dangerous stories are the ones people choose to believe.

Set against a backdrop of gothic campuses, forgotten folklore, and long-held secrets, What Cannot Remain is a haunting mystery about memory, guilt, and the things communities will do to protect themselves from uncomfortable truths.
