Blackwood’s Missing Secret

The clock doesn't just tick; it judges. Elara Vance is the ultimate "cleaner, " a political strategist who makes the unthinkable disappear for the world's most powerful elites. But you can't scrub blood off your own soul. Now, trapped in a cliffside fortress during a screaming Maine storm, Elara faces a visitor who knows her darkest secret: the night she pushed a car-and a breathing witness-into the icy depths of Blackwood Quarry.
With a stopwatch running and sixty minutes to rewrite her story, Elara is forced into a lethal game of cat and mouse. As the lines between her lies and the truth dissolve, she realizes she isn't just fighting for her freedom-she's fighting a ghost from the water who refuses to stay buried. In a world where every silence is bought and every confession is a weapon, how far will a fixer go when she's the one who needs to be erased?
