Windermere looks like a peaceful coastal town—until the art school burns to the ground, taking missing grant files and Daniel Bennett’s encrypted research with it. Librarian Claire Bennett is left with more questions than answers, especially when a reporter arrives with a notepad bearing her name and the town’s redevelopment millions suddenly vanish.
When Elias Monroe returns home, he finds his childhood house ransacked and the flash drive containing Bennett’s financial records stolen. Every trail points to the same figure locals whisper about but never name:
The Shadow—Windermere’s invisible architect of corruption.
For years, his silent operatives have erased files, rewritten records, and eliminated anyone who gets too close to the truth. Now Claire and Elias are next on the list.
To save their town, they must follow the stolen money, outsmart a hidden network, and expose a man who’s been bleeding Windermere dry—before everything they love disappears into the darkness he built.
