A killer watches from the trees. A red flag marks the next victim. When a young couple is found murdered at their lakeside campsite, Sheriff Shea Callahan believes it’s a tragic anomaly—until a second body turns up, mutilated and dumped near the shore. The only thing the victims have in common? A crimson camping flag fluttering just outside their tents. As panic ripples through the quiet town of Misty Hollow, whispers of an old legend resurface—three deaths always follow the lake’s call. But this is no curse. This is calculated. Deputy Trevor Bolton is determined to help Shea stop the killer, even as his feelings for her deepen into something dangerous of their own. With each body discovered and every red flag planted, the line between duty and obsession blurs. The killer is watching. Waiting. And he remembers the closet, the screams... and the blanket that burned. He’ll kill again unless Shea and Trevor can unravel the past before it engulfs them all. A chilling small-town thriller with gripping suspense, a haunting mystery, and a slow-burn romance that simmers beneath the surface
