The Hunting Lodge

A skeleton in a floral sundress surfaces under a road crew's backhoe, and the quiet lake town of Elder Point starts locking its doors. State cold-case investigator Claire Milligan came to close a fifteen-year-old file fast and quietly. Instead she finds a gutted police report, a dead girl's diary naming two of the town's most respected men, and a demolished building on the north shore that nobody wants to talk about. Some towns don't forget. They agree not to remember.
