Chalk Drawings

The First Installment of The Chalk Watcher Seriesby Gina FoglerIn Cold Harbor, silence is never empty.When a body-shaped chalk outline appears in a rain-soaked alley-with no body inside it-Detective Thomas Harris knows this isn't a prank. It's a message.Years ago, the Coldwater murders nearly destroyed him. The memory of five missing children, outlined in chalk and swallowed by silence, still haunts his sleep. Now the markings have returned-cleaner, bolder, deliberate. And this time, his name is written inside the lines.As fear spreads through the city, a teenage girl vanishes, leaving behind nothing but another chalk silhouette. Parents lock their doors. Reporters circle like vultures. And Harris begins to realize the killer isn't just repeating history-he's rewriting it.The Watcher is patient. Ritualistic. Devout in his pattern.Every outline is scripture.Every name is a promise.And every mark demands balance.With forty-eight hours before he's pulled off the case-and possibly off the force-Harris must confront the one thing he's tried to bury: Coldwater was never finished.Because in Cold Harbor, chalk doesn't mark the dead.It marks the chosen.
