The House at the Edge of the Woods

A locked steel box in a dead woman's attic holds a child's red sneaker, a faded Polaroid, and a notebook listing seven names—all children who vanished from the same small-town street over two decades. Gracie Phelps came home to Harlow, Ohio, to bury her estranged mother and sell the family's crumbling Victorian. Instead, she discovers the basement floor has been patched in seven uneven rectangles. With a demolition crew closing in and a killer still walking free, Gracie has fourteen days to uncover a truth her mother died protecting—before it buries her too.
