Forgotten Shadows: A Strange Air Paranormal Mystery (The Strange Air Book 1) by Erick Mertz

Sometimes a simple walk down memory lane can be terrifying.

In Whistler’s Grove, where things are never what they seem, a look behind the veil can be deceiving.

Newly elected sheriff August Melville is about to get an unwanted look into his past. Returning to the halls of his childhood elementary school after many long years was supposed to be easy. But as Melville soon discovers, upholding the law in Canyon County, Oregon, means confronting an array of strange and frightening secrets.
Aware of the old story that a woman named Roberta Hancock had been murdered, a bizarre meeting with her daughter forces Melville to re-open the old investigation.

Who really killed the old woman? More importantly, why?

What Melville learns as he starts to peel back the layers turns his view of his hometown of Whistler’s Grove upside down. But will it also skew his resolve to do the right thing?

This twist-filled novella serves as an introduction to the “Strange Air” series of paranormal mysteries. Setting the scene for the secret-filled world of Canyon County, it offers a harrowing glimpse of just what Sheriff Melville has in store for him.
