Echoes of Her Smile

Every smile hides a story. His just might end in blood.

Elijah Cole is a brilliant private detective known for solving the darkest, most complex cases that law enforcement can't. From a locked-room murder in Oregon to a high-profile kidnapping in Yosemite, a museum theft in San Francisco, and an elaborate con in Atlanta-Elijah uncovers truth where others fail.

But there's a thread winding through each mystery: a woman.

Claire.

Enigmatic, graceful, and always just out of reach. Sometimes a bookshop owner, a park artist, or a stranger in a yellow scarf-she never stays long, but she always leaves a mark.

As Elijah's cases grow more disturbing, his connection with Claire deepens, leading him down a path where the line between passion and paranoia blurs. When a chilling series of murders strikes across state lines, Elijah must untangle the past, face his own demons, and follow the trail-no matter where it leads.

Echoes of Her Smile is a slow-burning, emotionally gripping psychological thriller about justice, memory, and the people we let into our hearts... even when they might be hiding everything.
