The Room Under the House

Some rooms should stay sealed.

Dr. Tessa Marlowe has spent her life trying to escape one truth: her father was a serial killer. Now someone is killing again.

A woman is found dead on an operating table. Tessa’s hospital badge opened the door. Her surgical knot sealed the body. And one hour of her life, 2:13 a.m., is missing.

She knows she didn’t do it. But the police have the evidence. The media has her name. And the hospital where she saves lives is ready to hand her over.

Then a message appears. I know what you did at 2:13 a.m.

As more bodies appear, Tessa realizes she isn’t just being framed. Someone is inside her life. Following her shifts. Using her past. Learning how to step into her skin.

And when she finds a sealed room beneath her childhood home, she realizes the murders are only the beginning.

Because the killer doesn’t just want her blamed. They want her life.
