Overstretched Stuart G. Yates

Relocated across the country, Stephen Brunt and his family spend their first night in a dark, unwelcoming pub.

It seems like nobody is ready to welcome them to their new home town except for Carson, Mr. Knills's servant from one house over. After Knills invites them over for a quiet drink, the Stephen and his family learn that the man's wife was kidnapped one dreadful night, never to be heard from again.

A private detective had failed to unearth anything, and Knills pleads Stephen to help him. Pockets now full of money, he sets out to find out what happened. But soon, things take a turn for the worse, and Stephen himself becomes a suspect for a crime he didn't commit.

With seemingly nobody to trust, Stephen finds himself in a race against time, and odds are not in his favor. Can he piece together the puzzle, find the kidnapper and save himself?
