Hell to the Bone - To outsiders they’re perfect To her they’re hiding a secret

T.H. Malcolm

Sinossi

Cumberland Heights, Tennessee—where whispers bury the truth deeper than the grave.
 
Adin Jane Austin runs a boutique by day and collects secrets by night. Everyone talks to her—spilling gossip, confessions, and things never meant to see daylight. But when men start vanishing without a trace, the rumors sharpen into something darker.
 
The disappearances aren’t new. They stretch back twenty years—abductions, murders, and a pattern the town refuses to face.
 
Adin isn’t a detective. But with a dogged investigator at her side, she digs into a web of buried crimes, family corruption, and power that kills to protect itself. Every answer she uncovers tightens the snare around her own neck.
 
In a place where silence is survival, speaking the truth might cost her everything.
 
Hell to the Bone is a slow-burn Southern noir thriller steeped in psychological suspense, where justice is twisted, danger runs in the blood, and secrets never stay buried.

Their mission: to secure a vitally important person in Singapore and take him, and the secret he carries, back to Australia. While enroute to the island bastion of the British Far East Fleet, Clement learns that Malaya, Singapore, and Pearl Harbour have all been bombed and war is declared. With no up-to-date intelligence on the volatile region, and leading a group of men he barely knows, much less trusts, Clement's orders leave him with no option but to proceed.
