The Silent Offering by D Lovell Children go missing in Haven Ridge.All are Black or Brown.All are never found.Until Now. And the town always has a reason-runaways, bad homes, troubled kids. But never a pattern. Never a cause. Twenty-seven years after his sister Lila vanished without a trace, investigative journalist Jeffrey Dunham returns to his hometown when another child is found under brutal, unexplained circumstances. The official report says one thing. The scene says something else entirely. As Jeffrey searches for answers, he finds himself entangled in a legacy the town has spent decades burying. With help from a local deputy who won't stay quiet and a reclusive historian who's been chasing the truth for years, he uncovers a trail of missing children, strange markings, and whispers of something older than the town itself. The Silent Offering is a haunting supernatural horror novel about buried truths, systemic silence, and the children written off before they were ever found. "A masterful blend of folk horror and social commentary that will haunt you long after the last page."
