Book One · Psychological Thriller
Debt At The Door
On a failing pig farm on the outskirts of Port Coquitlam in the late 1980s, a summer party is supposed to be a harmless escape—cheap drinks, loud music, a night to forget everything waiting at home.
By morning, someone is missing. By the end of the week, the adults have agreed on a story: it was wild, sure, but nothing really happened. Nothing worth ruining lives over.
Rae has spent her entire life on the fringes of that farm, trained to look away from what happens after dark. She knows which doors stay locked. She knows which sheds never get opened when the police drive by. She knows which questions you do not ask if you want to stay safe.
But the story the town starts telling about the party doesn’t match what she saw. And the more they rush to move on, the more Rae realizes this isn’t the first time the farm has swallowed something it shouldn’t.
If she stays quiet, she can keep the life she has: uncomfortable, uneasy, and intact. If she speaks, she might finally blow the door off everything that’s been happening out there—and drag everyone who’s looked away into the light with her.
Debt At The Door is a dark, character-driven thriller set on a rural farm outside Port Coquitlam, British Columbia in the late 1980s—perfect for readers who like their suspense tense, intimate, and just close enough to real life to feel wrong.
