    This work provides a concise synthesis of the key insights and analysis of the book. It is an independent summary, not the original book, and has no affiliation with or endorsement from the original publication. Created for readers who want a clear, thought-provoking overview, it distills the central themes and ideas while preserving the depth and relevance of the work. 
    In a seemingly quiet suburban neighborhood, the disappearance of a young mother sets off a chain of events that will haunt the community for more than a decade. When another woman and her six-year-old daughter vanish soon after, suspicion, guilt, and fear consume those left behind. Years later, a young girl emerges from captivity, unraveling secrets long buried beneath polite façades. As revelations surface, friendships fracture, and hidden betrayals come to light, exposing just how dangerous ordinary lives can become when silence covers the truth. This thriller explores the fragility of trust, the persistence of trauma, and the devastating cost of secrecy in a world where safety is never guaranteed.

    113 years after the Titanic sank, some passengers never truly leave. 
    Finn goes to a Halloween party at Mortlake Rowing Club and meets Hugh, an Irishman dressed as if he just stepped off a 1912 London street. He knows the city, the rowing clubs, even the details of the Titanic as if he lived it. His touch is too vivid, his charm too old-fashioned. Finn begins to wonder if Hugh is real or a ghost of a rower lost on that doomed voyage. 
    That night spins into something impossible, a romance that bends time and memory. Meanwhile, Finn’s boyfriend Aly returns from Paris to find whisky glasses, strange banknotes, and the faint scent of the sea. What really happened that Halloween night in Fulham and why does Hugh’s voice still call Finn’s name? 
    A Halloween Tryst: Titanic to Thames is a sensual, haunted queer romance. It mixes the tragedy and glamour of the Titanic with desire, guilt, and ghosts who will not rest. Perfect for fans of Titanic stories, haunted love, and LGBTQ+ historical romance with a dark twist.
