MEET
SIMON CALDER

Simon Calder never intended to become a detective.

After forty years on the stage, he has learned that people reveal themselves in the smallest of moments, a pause before an answer, a smile that never reaches the eyes, a glance toward a door no one else has noticed.

Returning to Calder House after nearly two decades away, Simon discovers that the instincts which once made him a respected actor now make him an unlikely investigator. In Brindle Harbor, every conversation hides another layer, every guest carries a story, and every mystery begins with someone pretending everything is perfectly ordinary.

Room Seven is Waiting.

Calder House is more than an inn. It is a place of memory, legacy, and locked doors. Every room has a story. Every guest arrives carrying something unseen. And, sooner or later, every secret finds its way into the open.
