Blood on the Bayou
**Some places never forget. Some souls never leave.**

In the heart of the Ninth Ward, a forgotten **orphanage** rots beneath the moss-draped oaks-its past buried in silence, its secrets steeped in blood.

When investigative journalist **Olivia Duval** is found murdered-her lips sewn shut, her fingernails missing-Detective **Caleb Mercer** is drawn into a case unlike any he's ever faced. Olivia had been investigating the mysterious disappearances of several young people... all of them tied to the same long-shuttered orphanage.

As Mercer digs deeper, he teams up with forensic psychologist **Dr. Evelyn Cross**, who senses something sinister beneath the surface-something not entirely human. The more they uncover, the clearer it becomes: this isn't just a killer. It's a curse.

The orphanage holds the key. And someone-or something-is determined to keep its secrets buried.

_**Blood on the Bayou**_ is a supernatural crime thriller drenched in Southern Gothic atmosphere, where the dead speak in silence, and vengeance waits in the shadows.
