The Disappearance at Hollow Lake
Around Hollow Lake, two lives intersect because of a submerged object contradicting a witness account: those of a forensic archivist reconstructing a schedule and a detective who distrusts the first explanation. Their efforts to investigate the last verified moment before someone vanished complicate loyalties and expose whether the official sequence of events is true. The plot is designed as a fully resolved fair-play psychological mystery.
