Vanishing Heir

A centuries-old estate. A missing girl. And one psychologist's dark inheritance.

When criminal psychologist Dr. Sable Merrow receives a mysterious letter summoning her to the crumbling Berrow estate in Northern Devon, she expects a professional curiosity. What she finds is far more personal, and terrifying.

A girl has gone missing, just like Sable's cousin Eleanor did many years ago. Sable still wonders what happened back then, and now she's pulled back into Blackthorn Hall, a big, old house full of secrets and locked rooms. It feels like the house remembers everything.

But finding out the truth won't be easy. The people in the village won't talk. The Berrow family is sad and doesn't want to face what happened. And someone-or maybe something-is trying to make sure the past stays hidden.

As Sable keeps looking for answers, things start to get scarier-she finds a secret chapel underground, sees strange ghosts, and reads a sad journal. The more she finds out, the more dangerous things become. Someone is watching her. Someone who knows what really happened long ago... and what's still happening now.

The closer Sable gets to the truth, the more she could lose-her mind, her family, even her life. But she can't stop. Not when her family's history holds the answers. Not when a missing child still needs to be found.

Can she solve the mystery before it's too late-or will Blackthorn Hall take another child from the family?
