Detective Callie Forde Mystery

She wanted to avenge her father. She needed to save herself. When Detective Callie Forde is called to the home of a missing teenaged girl, she doesn't initially suspect foul play. Hampstead is a quiet college town. It's safe-if you don't count the other girl. But as the hours wear on with no sign of Natalie, the police are forced to consider the teenager might have been abducted. No one is more surprised than Callie when all their leads are eerily similar to that of another case, the five-year-old cold case that ended with a botched investigation, a shooting, and her father in a wheelchair. Determined not to make the same mistakes he made, Callie races to find the girl, avenge her father, and maybe, stop history from repeating itself.

In the tiny town of Hampstead, a killer hides... Fifteen years ago, the double murder of two local women rocked a small Virginia town. Justice was served when Harry Lawson was arrested and found guilty in the brutal slaying of his wife and friend-or so the town believed. When new evidence surfaces proving Harry's innocence, the town and police are thrust into the national spotlight. After the initial medial flurry fades, only one true crime podcaster remains-Gordon Little, a man with a lot to prove and a dubious connection to Lynnleigh, Lisa and Harry's only surviving child. Inheriting the stone-cold case and determined not to repeat the mistakes of the past, Detective Callie Forde must investigate a town harboring long-buried secrets in a race to find the true killer before he strikes again.
