Three women are dead. The police say it’s a suicide cluster. The reporter knows better.
In the rainy, blue-collar city of Barrow Falls, Massachusetts, three women have jumped from the same bridge in eighteen months. Same time of night. Same method. No witnesses. No notes. No connections between the victims—except one.
They all visited Dr. Elias Vance, a revered trauma therapist, in the weeks before their deaths.
Reporter Maya Cross is drowning. Her career stalled after a high-profile libel suit. Her marriage is crumbling. Her teenage daughter won’t look at her. She’s been exiled to the obituaries desk, writing epitaphs for people who died the way everyone expected them to.
Then she notices the pattern.
Three women. One bridge. One therapist.
Her editor calls it a coincidence. The police call it closed. Dr. Vance calls it a tragedy and offers his condolences to the families on live television, his face smooth and sorrowful and perfect.
Maya doesn’t believe in coincidences.
She begins digging. She finds a fourth woman—still alive, still seeing Dr. Vance, still dreaming of bridges. But when Maya tries to warn her, the woman disappears. Vanishes from her apartment. From her job. From existence.
The police say she ran away. Dr. Vance says he’s devastated. Maya says someone took her.
No one listens.
Because the fourth victim hasn’t jumped yet. And Dr. Vance has already decided who will find the body.
