When Rowan uncovers a vintage locket containing a lock of bloody hair, she unknowingly reopens a case that was never meant to be solved. Forty years earlier, a teenage cheerleader named Jessica disappeared from Camp Nelson. Her teammates said it was an accident. The camp closed. The town moved on. But as Rowan begins asking questions, she uncovers a story far more disturbing than a missing girl—a story about obsession disguised as love, loyalty that turns lethal, and the quiet ways people justify what they’ve done. The closer Rowan gets to the truth, the more dangerous her questions become. Because Jessica may not have been a victim. And the people who loved her may not be innocent. The Bloody Locket is a psychological thriller about control, complicity, and what happens when survival becomes a kind of power.
