Quiet Order

A mystery about memory, control, and what we choose to forget

When Claire Halstead's estranged uncle dies unexpectedly, she returns to the small town of Ashridge Hollow expecting nothing more than a house to clean out, and a past best left untouched. But inside the dusty rooms, she finds a cryptic journal, a sealed envelope, and traces of something far more deliberate.

With her AI assistant Ada for company, Claire begins to uncover clues pointing to a hidden group known only as The Order. What begins as a quiet inheritance spirals into a web of missing records, erased histories, and people who aren't who they seem.

As each puzzle piece clicks into place, the lines between memory and manipulation blur - and Claire must decide whether some truths are better left buried.

The Quiet Order is a slow-burn literary mystery with psychological suspense, emotional resonance, and a quiet undercurrent of paranoia. For readers who enjoy eerie atmospheres, and stories that linger after the final page.
