Something Sinister Lurks Down in the Attic – Publishing July 10th

When a routine van theft takes a brutal turn, Detective Inspector Krystal Roark is thrown into a chilling investigation that spirals far beyond what anyone expected. In Down in the Attic, the abductions are just the beginning, because what Roark uncovers is a trail of pain, secrets, and a legacy soaked in blood.

Each victim is connected. Each clue peels back another layer of horror. And at the heart of it all is a house buried in the dense stillness of the New Forest, where the past is far from dead—and someone is determined to finish what was started long ago.

With razor-sharp tension, shocking twists, and a detective you won’t forget, Down in the Attic is a psychological thriller that drags you into the shadows and doesn’t let go. Perfect for readers who crave gritty investigations, morally complex characters, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.
