Silent Borders

Arthur Woods was the kind of man Cedar Harbor preferred to ignore.

He complained. He filed objections. He held up the waterfront expansion that everyone wanted approved. So, when he's found dead in his tidy living room, most of the town is ready to call it sad, inconvenient, and natural.

Then Arthur's nephew arrives at Emma's cafe with old maps, missing records, and a claim no one wants to hear: Arthur was about to prove the town's biggest development project was built on a lie.

The deeper Emma digs, the more dangerous the paper trail becomes. A vanished county file. A redrawn boundary line. A Historical Society with too much to protect. A developer with millions at stake. And a town full of people who would rather call Arthur "difficult" than admit he may have been murdered for telling the truth.

But Arthur kept copies.

And someone is willing to kill to make sure they stay buried.

Silent Borders is a twisty small-town cozy mystery filled with secrets, old maps, quiet threats, and one café owner who knows better than to trust Cedar Harbor's polite version of the truth.
