Where memory, myth, and silence collide.

In a world where the line between the forgotten and the unexplained grows thinner with each passing case, Clara Hayes walks the spaces most people refuse to look at twice. Once a high-ranking detective with a keen mind and a buried past, Clara now operates in the cracks—drawn not to murder, but to mysteries that unravel the self.

Across three deeply atmospheric novels, The Clara Hayes Mysteries take readers into villages that vanish, signals that echo beyond physics, and houses that rewrite the names of the living.

Book One – The Case of the Vanishing Villagers
In the quiet English village of Elmridge, people begin disappearing without explanation. No signs of struggle, no notes, no bodies—just an ever-growing absence the locals refuse to acknowledge. Clara is called back into the field, where she uncovers a chilling connection between folkloric rituals and the residents' eerie silence. Something ancient has rooted itself in Elmridge, and it's not done taking.

Book Two – The Silence in the Signal
When strange tones begin broadcasting from a decommissioned military tower, Clara is drawn into a new mystery—one where voices return in unnatural forms, and the people hearing them are never quite the same. As the signal spreads, Clara discovers it doesn't just mimic the living—it replicates grief itself. And if no one stops it, it may rewrite the very idea of identity.

Book Three – The House That Forgot Its Name
A derelict estate with no recorded history. A caretaker who can't remember his own life. A house that doesn't haunt, but forgets. Called to investigate Brindlehurst Hall, Clara discovers a place that consumes memory in exchange for peace. But in the house's center lies the knot—a space where erased people still linger, whispering their names into walls that no longer recognize them. And Clara must resist the house's invitation to forget the very thing that makes her real.

Together, these novels form a slow-burning psychological and supernatural mystery series that explores the intersection of folk horror, grief, and identity. More than whodunnits, Clara Hayes' cases ask what it costs to be remembered—and what happens when we choose silence over pain.

With lyrical prose, rich atmosphere, and a growing mythos that blends the uncanny with the emotionally true, The Clara Hayes Mysteries are perfect for readers who love their suspense with intelligence, heart, and a quiet chill that lingers long after the last page.
