Publisher's Synopsis
Ridgewood isn't the kind of place where people go missing. It's quiet, safe-the kind of town where neighbors smile and secrets stay buried.
But when Mia Carter doesn't come home one night, everything changes.
Detective Clara Holden has seen enough to know that disappearances like this rarely have simple explanations. As she starts digging, she realizes Mia's case is just the tip of something much darker. The deeper she goes, the more she uncovers-old secrets, buried fears, and a town that isn't as innocent as it pretends to be.
Clara's father, the former police chief, once warned her: There are things in this town better left alone. But it's too late for that now. Because Mia isn't just another missing person. She's a thread in a web Clara never meant to stumble into.
And once the truth starts unraveling, there's no going back.
The Quiet Before the Storm is a gripping mystery about the secrets that hide in plain sight, the cost of uncovering the truth, and the darkness that lingers even in the safest of places.
