He pushes, he prods, and just when a fragile truth begins to emerge from the lips of an elderly woman, the town turns on him.Suddenly, it's not just about solving a cold case; it's about survival. Threats escalate from icy glares to slashed tires and blood-red warnings.

A cryptic message lures our detective into a deadly trap where the desperate innkeeper, framed as the scapegoat, reveals the existence of a ledger – a meticulously documented chronicle of the town's evil, containing every name, every victim.
