Shadows on the Road
A psychological mystery set in coastal Maine.

What the story is about
Havenport is a coastal Maine town wrapped in fog and full of stories people try to hide. When cyclists start turning up dead on the backroads, Detective Claire Sandoval steps into a mystery that reaches far deeper than the case files suggest. Each victim carries a past. Each witness holds something back. The more Claire uncovers, the more the town begins to crack under old resentments and buried grief. Shadows move where they do not belong. Rumors grow louder than the truth. Someone is watching from the mist. In Havenport, nothing stays hidden for long. Not even the darkness.
