White Ground, Black Deeds

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

In the snow-buried village of Ashwood, where silence looks pure but hides something rotten beneath, darkness begins to spread across the white land. The chief’s brother is found murdered—only the first in a series of brutal killings that shake the fragile peace of the village. A young, brilliant detective arrives from the city, not just as an investigator, but as someone bound by friendship to the victim. What begins as a search for truth soon turns into a descent into chaos, where every path through the frozen streets leads to secrets, betrayal, and danger. As the snow keeps falling, Ashwood reveals its darkest side—and the detective must survive the madness hidden beneath its beauty before the killer strikes again.

The Atmosphere

The early morning sun's radiation were struggling through the thick fog to approach the snow dusted village of Ahwood, slumbered beside the frozen river, it's icy surface glinting like polished silver in the ple morning light. The snow covered trees along the riverbank stood vigilant like watchmen, their branches scored sharply against the pale blue sky, their limbs heavy with the weight of snow. The lanterns hung down from lamp hooks outside from the houses and cottages casted a dim light in the fog.

The village's rustic cottages and houses with their thatched roofs and smoke blackened chimneys, puffed gentle plumes of smoke into the crisp air, carrying scent of wood smoke and baking bread from cast-iron ranges, where Mrs Robert's renowned seed cakes were no doubt being prepared to be sold in the market.
