Chapter 13: Beneath the Surface

Welcome to Chapter 13 Chapter 12 shattered the illusion of control. As Sûreté officers arrived on Blackstone Isle, Gerald and Jerome McLeod were no longer suspects—they were accused. Arrested for their father’s murder and led away in full view of the island, their story cracked wide open. The air of casual defiance they had once worn now gave way to uncertainty and fear. At the detachment, reality closed in fast. The autopsy report destroyed their timeline, the Crown Prosecutor arrived with a case, and Paul O’Grady’s sharp legal instincts could only buy time—not freedom. And under the glare of interrogation lights, cracks widened further. Gerald stood his ground with practiced bravado, while Jerome trembled under the weight of doubt and temptation. Offers were made. Pressure applied. But loyalty can be a prison too—and Jerome isn’t sure how long he can carry both the silence and the guilt. In Chapter 13, the case deepens. Tensions rise. And for the McLeod bro...

Prologue Beneath the Surface

  Prologue – Beneath the Surface Previously on the blog: Welcome to Beneath the Surface —a serialized murder mystery set in rural Quebec. Start the journey with the haunting prologue below. The early morning mist clung to the trees as the Algonquin men paddled their birchbark canoes toward the island. Blackstone Isle, nestled in the middle of the Ottawa River, had long been a sacred place where their people gathered each year. The island’s forests whispered stories of ancient hunts and councils, while its winding streams echoed the chants of elders. Here, the Algonquin found not only sustenance but peace, a place of reunion where clans converged to renew bonds and trade with one another. On this journey, however, something different stirred in the air. One of the men, keen-eyed and silent, had spotted unusual stones along the shore, their surfaces gleaming in the pale sunlight. He knelt by the water’s edge and held up the rock, examining its strange, golden vei...
