Private investigator Sloane Merritt has seen plenty of strange cases. But when famous urban explorer Matt Matthews disappears after hinting to his millions of followers he was about to uncover the most exciting location of his career, the trail goes cold almost immediately.
His final post teased something different.
Something bigger.
Somewhere out there—hidden among dozens of abandoned properties scattered outside Atlanta—was a location Matt believed would change everything.
Then he vanished.
No coordinates. No confirmed site. Just a digital breadcrumb trail pointing to forgotten buildings, buried records, and places no one has touched in decades.
And the only person sounding the alarm is a wealthy superfan named Orca—a woman convinced Matt is the love of her life, even though they’ve never met.
Now Sloane and her hacker friend Ash Patel must reconstruct Matt’s final days, racing to identify which of the countless abandoned sites he was heading toward… before it’s too late.
Because someone doesn’t want that place found.
The deeper Sloane digs, the stranger the case becomes.
Locals won’t talk. Records don’t line up. And every lead seems to point to properties with violent pasts—and secrets that were meant to stay buried.
Until one location begins to surface.
And if Sloane is right… it may be the most terrifying place Matt has ever explored.
Sloane doesn’t believe in ghosts. But she does believe someone is hiding the truth.
And whatever Matt found out there…
… he didn’t make it out.
Meanwhile, Sloane is closer than ever to confronting the man who may finally reveal what happened to her missing friend Eden Pike—even after receiving a chilling warning:
STOP LOOKING FOR ME.
But Sloane Merritt has never stopped looking.
