The Bonehouse by Rowan Duncan

In the murky swamplands of Southeast Texas, where Spanish moss drapes ancient oaks like funeral shrouds, stands a decaying mansion with a blood-soaked history. They call it "The Bonehouse," and its walls hold secrets darker than the blackest bayou waters.

Lorelei Morgan, a hard-drinking L.A. private investigator with more debts than dollars, is desperate enough to take on a job that reeks of danger and madness. Her mission? Uncover the truth behind local legends of hidden treasure and unspeakable crimes within the rotting halls of the Bonehouse. But as Lorelei peels back layers of lies in this forgotten corner of the South, she finds herself ensnared in a web of corruption that spans generations.

"The Bonehouse" is a searing Southern Gothic Noir novella that will leave you questioning the very nature of justice, redemption, and the price we pay for uncovering long-buried truths.
