The Quiet Rooms

Behind the walls of Greystone Hollow, children were taught to listen.

When real-estate photographer Sloane Mercer discovers a hidden room behind a closet wall in one of the elegant homes she's been hired to shoot, she assumes she's found a bizarre construction flaw. Then she finds another. And another.

Each secret room is barely large enough for a child. Each contains a single chair, a vent cut into the wall, and a forgotten object left behind decades ago.

The neighborhood's celebrated developer is dead. The homeowners swear they know nothing. But someone is still cleaning the rooms. Still checking the vents. Still protecting what happened there.

As Sloane digs deeper into Greystone Hollow's polished past, she uncovers a buried system of surveillance hidden inside the bones of the subdivision-and a chilling connection to the father she lost in disgrace after working for the same developer years before.

Now every opened wall brings her closer to a vanished teenage babysitter, a powerful family built on silence, and a truth the neighborhood was designed to keep buried.

The Quiet Rooms is a dark, elegant psychological suspense novel about suburban secrets, hidden architecture, and the price of listening too closely.
