A cryptic clue. A missing professor. A town with more secrets than streetlamps.

When small-town reporter Julia Wright receives an anonymous email about a decades-old scandal and the sudden disappearance of beloved but eccentric Professor Bing, she trades headlines for hidden clues. Known for her love of puzzles and her stubborn streak, Julia's hardly the type to back down -- even when the trail leads to her own family's locked-away past.

With her mischievous dog Cooper sniffing out trouble and a brooding detective who'd rather she stay out of it, Julia plunges into a world of cryptic journals, secret chambers, and redacted records.

Is it the nosy councilman who argued with the professor just days before he vanished -- or the cheerful local baker whose recipes don't quite add up?

The deeper Julia digs, the more danger she unearths -- and someone is willing to silence her to keep Maple Bay's secrets hidden.

If she doesn't solve the puzzle in time, the next secret buried... might be her own.
