Dylan Scott

**Dylan Scott Series by Shirley Wells** In a town where shadows hold more secrets than sunlight, exonerated sleuth Dylan Scott finds himself grappling with personal disappointment even as he unearths chilling mysteries. Recently unemployed and fresh out of a relationship, Dylan returns to the confines of his mother's home, a setting ripe for both nostalgia and frustration. When Holly Champion implores him to investigate the 13-year-old disappearance of her mother, the stakes are raised higher than Dylan's stagnant life might suggest. Dawson's Clough, a seemingly quaint town, is a labyrinth of deceit where every friendly face hides a potential villain—from a menacing bouncer with ties to the underworld to the gossiping neighbors nursing old grudges. As Dylan navigates a treacherous path filled with suspects and hidden agendas, he must unearth not just the truth behind Anita Champion's mysterious vanishing but also confront his own demons. This gripping series delves into themes of redemption, familial ties, and the relentless pursuit of justice, blending gritty realism with emotional depth. With each page turned, readers will be drawn deeper into the murky waters of a cold case—a case where every lead could be his last. Will Dylan crack the puzzle that has haunted this town for over a decade, or will he become another victim of the secrets he seeks to unveil? The answers await, but only if he dares to dig deeper.
