THE DOCK AT DUSK

Nora Vance came back to Wren Lake, Vermont, to sell her late grandmother's house and go home. She didn't expect the kitchen calendar to still be open to August of 1974 - or the water outside the window to show her a girl who vanished that same month, fifty years ago, and never came home.

The locals still call the house Yesteryear, a name painted over the door decades before Nora was born, and the longer she stays inside it, the more she understands why nobody ever bothered to paint over it again. This is a small-town psychological thriller built on buried secrets nobody in Wren Lake was ever supposed to dig up. The whole town has spent five decades quietly protecting the truth about what really happened to sixteen-year-old Alice Voss - and Nora's own family was part of the silence. Every door she opens, every question she asks the local deputy investigating alongside her, pulls her closer to a secret someone here has been willing to kill to keep buried.

If she stops now, Alice Voss stays nothing but a name nobody says out loud, and the lake keeps its fifty-year silence for good. If she keeps going, she may not make it off the dock herself.

Atmospheric, tightly plotted, and built around one unforgettable image - a girl in a rowboat, a dock at dusk, and a house that won't let the past stay buried - The Dock at Dusk is for readers who love small-town psychological thrillers where the scariest secrets are the ones a whole community agreed to keep.
