Mystery of the Locks

In a forgotten river town where gossip is the only currency and silence is a way of life, a stranger arrives to purchase the abandoned house called The Locks. The locals know better than to ask questions. For years, a single light has appeared in the house at night, flickering in a room no one dares enter. There are reasons the town doesn't speak of The Locks, and there are reasons the stranger came. This is a novel about the weight of what we bury and the danger of digging it up. Howe understands that the most terrifying secrets are the ones a whole community keeps together.
