Overview

Two centuries. One scent. A cycle of blood that refuses to dry. Detective Mara Boone hasn't set foot in the Old Docklands in a decade, not since the humidity and the Gulf swallowed her mother whole. But when a construction project unearths a hidden chamber in the Blackwater District, the clinical walls Mara has built around her past begin to crumble. Inside, a modern corpse lies meticulously posed a gruesome mirror of the Victorian-era artifacts surrounding it. Tracing the chilling scent of bay rum and tobacco across two centuries, Mara discovers a terrifying link between a string of recent disappearances and the 1893 journals of a woman silenced by her own community. The journals detail the original Cypress Cutter murders, a series of killings the town of Mara's youth preferred to bury rather than solve. As Mara teams up with Aris, the son of the town's most powerful dynasty, she realizes the Thorne family legacy is built on more than timber, it's built on bone. To stop a rebirth of an old nightmare, Mara must dive into the claustrophobic secrets of the Sunken Chapel and face the cowardice that has kept the Cypress Cutter in the shadows for over a hundred years. In a town where the tide hides everything, can one woman bring the light before it's her turn to be silenced? The Cypress Cutter is a haunting dual-timeline historical thriller perfect for fans of dark atmosphere, atmospheric mystery, and stories where the past never truly stays buried.
