📝 Description: Secrets Beneath The Sea

Phil Price presents a supernatural mystery centered on Emma Thorne, who searches for her daughter Lauren after the child is taken by a powerful family in a Cornish village. The narrative follows Emma’s desperation as she hires private investigator Jake Stevenson to locate the missing girl. Stevenson possesses unique abilities to travel to places beyond normal understanding, making him the only hope for finding clues in the secretive village of Towan Point. The story unfolds with elements of gothic horror and the supernatural. A key setting is an ancient lighthouse cut off from the outside world, where a pulsing doorway in the darkness leads to unknown dangers. The plot explores what lurks on the other side of this threshold and the secrets hidden beneath the sea. This edition features a large print format with a larger typeface to ensure easier reading for those who prefer clearer text. The narrative structure relies on the investigation’s progression through these eerie locations rather than traditional chapter listings, focusing on the tension between the known world and the dark forces Emma and Jake must confront.
