Beschreibung

Isla Vance knows how fire speaks. As a forensic investigator, she’s spent years reading the aftermath of infernos—chasing origin points, deciphering scorch patterns, and telling stories through ash. But when she returns to her hometown to probe a string of eerily familiar arson cases, the evidence begins to whisper something more personal.
 
The town remembers what she buried.
 
The flames remember who lit them.
 
Haunted by fragmented memories and an unfinished childhood trauma, Isla follows a trail that twists back into her own past. As each burned site reveals uncanny patterns and cryptic symbols, the lines between professional and personal blur. The deeper she digs, the more time unravels—moments fold in on themselves, and what once felt certain begins to collapse.
 
Why does every fire feel like a reenactment?
 
Who left the box for her beneath the scorched confessional?
 
And why do the voices in the smoke sound like her mother?
 
As Isla edges closer to the truth, one thing becomes chillingly clear: this case isn’t about finding the arsonist. It’s about finding out who she’s always been.
 
Can you trust the story your memory tells you—when the flames tell another?
 
***
 
This novel is part of REVERB!, an interconnected collection of standalone supernatural thrillers.
 
In REVERB!, twelve standalone supernatural thrillers unravel the dark space between the spoken and the unspeakable. Each story drops you into a different haunted setting—abandoned houses, cursed forests, forgotten towns—where a single whisper sparks a chilling unraveling of truth, memory, and fate.
 
From grieving parents and haunted investigators to broken lovers and trapped strangers, every protagonist faces a unique descent into the unknown. These aren’t just ghost stories. They’re psychological collisions, where what’s buried doesn’t stay buried, and what speaks in the dark may not want to be understood—only obeyed.
 
With atmospheric suspense, slow-burning dread, and unforgettable twists, this series pulls you to the edge and dares you to listen. Because once the whisper starts, it never stops.
 
REVERB!
 
The past doesn’t haunt you. It waits.

    "The Adventure of the Empty House", one of the 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is one of 13 stories in the cycle collected as The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
    Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring the sleuth back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. This is the first Holmes story set after his supposed death at the Reichenbach Falls, as recounted in "The Final Problem". The Hound of the Baskervilles had seen the return of a pre-Reichenbach Falls Sherlock Holmes, which only served to whet readers' appetites.
    Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House" sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories.

    🧵 Antique pincushion collector and textile historian Penny Pincher is hosting a pincushion exhibit at her vintage shop when the exhibit's wealthy lender—a notorious collector with sharp business practices—is found dead in her store, a rare Victorian pincushion pin mysteriously lodged in his neck. The police suspect a bizarre accident, but Penny notices the pincushion's stuffing contains modern materials and the victim's collection ledger shows suspicious acquisition dates. With her shop closed for investigation and the collecting community buzzing, Penny must stick to the facts to solve this pointed mystery. Assisted by her antique dealer friends and the handsome museum conservator analyzing textile artifacts, Penny uncovers a scheme involving pincushion forgery, stolen textile artifacts, and a black market for antique sewing tools. From suspicious embroidery patterns that don't match the era to fabric wear that reveals artificial aging, every pin mark tells a story. But when Penny discovers the victim was systematically acquiring museum-quality pieces through questionable means to build a world-class collection, she realizes the killer is protecting a textile heritage more precious than any antique. With the exhibit opening soon and the real culprit still pinning blame elsewhere, Penny must thread the needle of truth before she becomes the next target in this sharp-witted game.

    Meet Detectives Slater and Norman, an unlikely crime-solving duo. They might seem like they have nothing in common, except a love of doughnuts and banter. But they never give up on a case, no matter how tough things get . . . 
     
    Nobody wants a visit from The Night Caller . . . 
     
    When the body of elderly Mr Winter is found in his modest terraced home, still in his pyjamas, Detective Dave Slater quickly decides there’s nothing suspicious to report. The old man fell and hit his head. It’s sad, but these things happen. 
     
    A few days later, Mr Winter’s home is ransacked — and Slater is forced to change his mind. This was no opportunist break-in. Someone was looking for something specific. But what did the lonely old man have in his possession that could cost his life? 
     
    Detective Norman Norman meanwhile is landed with the case from hell. A burglar known as The Night Caller has been targeting the larger houses of Hampshire. And, just Norman’s luck, his latest victim is the former Chief Constable — who makes no secret of his contempt for Norman’s investigative efforts. 
     
    There’s no way The Night Caller would be interested in old Mr Winter’s modest property. But then Slater and Norman uncover a connection . . . and the case takes a disturbing twist. 
     
    To find the answers, the two detectives must dig deep into the past. But are they prepared for the secrets they’re about to uncover? 
     
    This absolutely gripping detective mystery full of twists and turns is perfect for fans of Rachel McLean, J.D. Kirk, Pauline Rowson, Elly Griffiths, Matt Brolly and Simon McCleave.
