A city detective comes to a quiet mountain town looking for peace. What he finds is a collar that should not exist—and a silence that has teeth.

Caleb Mercer left the city to forget. Hollow Creek promised fog, floorboards that groan, and a town that minds its own business. Then a widow’s golden retriever trots home wearing a heavy leather collar tagged with a single name: Elias. The dog is not Elias. The town does not want to talk about who was.

The 1987 mill fire was ruled an accident. The insurance money rebuilt the Thorne family’s fortune. The people who asked questions simply vanished—names crossed out of ledgers, cases closed with the same tidy phrase, graves that never appear in the cemetery. Sheriff Tate (son of the town’s patriarch) tells Mercer to leave the past buried. The ground, he says, is already soft.

Helped by a sharp-eyed librarian who has been waiting decades to hand over the real records, a diner waitress who has seen everything and said nothing, and a widow who kept the secret logs her husband was too afraid to use, Mercer follows the collar into the woods, the archives, and the foundation of the old mill. What he unearths is not just arson and a land grab. It is a generation of disappearances paid for with the town’s prosperity.

In a place where quiet is currency and outsiders are disposable, one burned-out detective becomes the first person willing to make Hollow Creek scream.

Atmospheric small-town noir about the cost of peace, the weight of buried names, and the moment a town finally has to look at what it built its foundation on.
