Every town has secrets. Some refuse to stay buried.
In Moorestown, three-hundred-year-old oak trees shade the Colonial, Georgian, and Victorian mansions that whisper of forgotten histories. But when 16-year-old Parisol disappears, her best friend Lottie begins to see beyond the town's picture-perfect façade.
With each clue she uncovers, eras of carefully buried secrets rise to the surface, forcing Lottie to confront a disturbing pattern: girls have been disappearing from South Jersey for centuries. Now Lottie must decipher the region's past before Parisol becomes merely another footnote in history.
This novel is written for high school readers and adults who enjoy layered mysteries, real regional history, and subtle speculative twists. Grounded in documented Burlington County, New Jersey events and locations, it blends suspense and a touch of sci-fi to explore how easily hard-won rights and freedoms can be taken for granted-and then taken away. Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric small-town mysteries and the uncovering of long-buried truths.
The author, Mysti Spiel, is a history detective, digging up buried truths and exploring forgotten local legends to uncover what really happened. She writes fictional mysteries rooted in real history. She is dedicated to unearthing the stories that shaped our freedoms.
