Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Lost Man And Laine is a gritty psychological thriller about secrets, betrayal, survival, and a town that buries the truth.

Laine, a tough but scarred woman, finds a bloodied, disoriented man near the railway tracks in a storm. He has no memory—only cryptic whispers of blood, a woman, and a knife. She takes him in, but the town soon reveals his name: Daniel Cross, a fugitive accused of murder.
Laine doesn’t believe he’s a killer. But someone wants him to take the fall.

Her manipulative stepmother, Evelyn, holds the answers— and a deadly ultimatum. "Marry me, and your past disappears." Daniel refuses, and the nightmare begins. People vanish. Figures lurk in the dark. Buried crimes come to light. Then Laine’s best friend is found dead, her throat slashed.

The sheriff investigates, and the truth finally surfaces—Evelyn has killed before. But before she can be stopped, she pulls a gun on Laine.
Daniel takes the bullet.
As he bleeds out, his memory returns. "She set me up from the start."
Evelyn flees but falls into the icy river, disappearing like her past victims. No body is found.

Daniel dies in Laine’s arms.
Trying to move on, she opens a small shop, but the ghosts never leave.
One night, as she locks up, she feels eyes on her. A shadow shifts at the end of the street.
Then a voice in the wind whispers, "You really think she was the only one?"
Because some ghosts never rest.
Some monsters never stay buried.
And neither does the truth.
