Never had Detective Sarah Blake encountered a case as perplexing as the disappearance of the heiress. Scarce were the clues, and mounting was the pressure. Emily Carter vanished without a trace from her opulent mansion. Behind was a cryptic note: “Find the key where the shadows lie.”
Having scoured the mansion, Sarah’s keen eyes missed nothing. In the library, a peculiar shadow cast by the chandelier caught her attention. Following the shadow, she discovered a hidden compartment in the wall. Inside lay an old, rusty key.
With the key in hand, she went to the basement she headed, where a locked door she hadn’t noticed before awaited. Perfectly did the key fit. As the door creaked open, a chilling sight met her eyes: a room filled with photographs of Emily, each marked with dates and locations.
Emerging from the shadows was a figure. The butler, Mr. Thompson, it was. “I knew you’d find me, Detective,” he sneered. “But too late you are.”
Forward Sarah lunged, tackling him to the ground. “Where is she?” she demanded.
“Safe,” he whispered, “for now.”
With Mr. Thompson in custody, the final clue Sarah followed to an abandoned warehouse. There, unharmed but shaken, she found Emily. Closed was the case, but Sarah knew this was merely the beginning of a much darker conspiracy.
