The Lakeshore Hunt

A retired detective. A dead sister. A town that hides its truth beneath still waters.

Billie Knight has spent years trying to outrun the ghosts of her past—her badge, her failures, and the bitter estrangement from the only family she had left. When an unexpected letter arrives inviting her to reconcile with her sister in the quiet town of Lakeshore, Billie wants to ignore it. But then a second package comes: her sister’s journal… and a single chilling entry buried deep within its pages.

Don’t come to Lakeshore. No matter what.

Days later, Billie learns her sister is dead.

Driven by guilt, suspicion, and a detective’s instinct she can never fully retire, Billie travels to Lakeshore seeking answers. What she finds is a town wrapped in contradictions—friendly smiles that don’t reach the eyes, stories that shift with every retelling, and a death that feels staged rather than tragic.

As Billie digs deeper, the lines between truth and deception blur. Her sister’s final days reveal a pattern of fear, secrecy, and someone watching from the shadows. Every clue Billie uncovers pulls her further into a web of manipulation that mirrors the darkest cases of her career… except this time, the victim is family.

And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes:

Lakeshore doesn’t want her here.

Lakeshore has something to hide.

And someone in Lakeshore is hunting her too.

A gripping psychological mystery filled with emotional depth, atmospheric tension, and a heroine haunted by the past, The Lakeshore Hunt is perfect for readers who crave dark, character‑driven thrillers with cinematic suspense and unforgettable twists.
