Rain silvered the cemetery gates when Detective Mara Voss discovered a dead magistrate seated beneath the angel statue at dawn. His gloved hands clasped an empty confession while black wax sealed his lips and midnight bells tolled across the city. Mara noticed fresh mud on marble steps although every gate had remained locked since sunset according to the watchman nearby. Inside his pocket, she found a brass key engraved with her own initials, bearing date twenty years before her birth. A whisper moved through the tombs naming Mara's father, whose unsolved disappearance had haunted every official in town for decades. Then the magistrate's corpse sat upright and his sealed mouth opened long enough to speak one impossible name twice softly. Mara recognized the name immediately: it belonged to a witness officially buried beneath that same cemetery thirty years earlier exactly. Before she could question anyone, the cemetery gates slammed shut, trapping three suspects and a fourth unseen presence within the cemetery.
