When a hidden lockbox is discovered beneath the floorboards of a quiet village bakery, Dottie Vale expects answers about her late husband’s past. Instead, she uncovers something far more dangerous.
By the end of the day, a young man is dead.
As whispers ripple through the village square, long-buried secrets begin to surface. Old scandals. Quiet resentments. And a truth someone is willing to kill to keep hidden.

In a place where everyone knows your name, the most dangerous secrets are the ones hiding in plain sight.
