The old lighthouse stood alone at the edge of town, its broken light casting shadows across the wet sand. Detective Sara Voss arrived at the scene just before midnight, her boots sinking slowly into the cold mud. A body had been found face down near the rocks, one pale hand reaching toward the churning black water. She pulled out her flashlight and swept the beam across the ground, searching carefully for anything the killer left behind. The victim was a man, well dressed, perhaps fifty years old, with no wallet and no identification on him. Her partner, Grady, knelt beside the body and shook his head slowly, whispering that this felt deeply personal to him. The rain began falling harder now, threatening to wash away every last trace of evidence scattered along the shoreline tonight. Sara looked up at the lighthouse and noticed a single candle burning in the highest window, flickering against the glass. Someone had been watching, she was certain of it, and somewhere in this dark town they were still watching now.
