About the book
Bad timing. Bad location. Bad person.Alex and his wife Beth enjoy a comfortable life in the peaceful neighborhood of Silver Vale. Despite not being the friendliest guy on the block, Alex is a devoted husband and a laid-back neighbor.
However, everything changes when Beth announces plans to develop a nature trail on a neglected local site. Alex becomes a different person, constantly vigilant and full of anxiety.
As the construction of the trail begins, a long-buried secret from Alex’s past threatens to resurface. In his twenties, Alex was involved with a captivating woman named Marina, leading to a series of events that turned their lives upside down.
This involvement also sparked a police investigation into a murder suspect, a situation that was more complex than it initially appeared and continues to be shrouded in mystery.
The question remains: could someone else have committed the crime?
