The Custodian

When Emma Caldwell's mother died, she left behind sixteen coded journals and a killer who needed to be stopped. Emma stopped him. When a trafficking network threatened everything she'd built since, Emma dismantled it too.

She thought she understood what she was. An investigator. A pattern finder. A woman who finishes what her mother started.

She was wrong about all of it.

The truth is older than Emma's family, older than the town of Moores Hill, older than the building that has stood at the center of that town since 1907. The truth is carved into bedrock twenty feet below Main Street and it has been waiting for someone with the right bloodline and the right knowledge and the right capacity to look at the darkest parts of herself and say yes.

Emma's uncle Mark Caldwell looked at that same darkness in 1993. He said yes to the wrong thing.

Emma has to do better.

The Custodian is a thriller about ancient knowledge, family legacy, and the difference between what we're capable of and what we choose to become. The Moores Hill series goes deeper than it's ever gone before.
