The Mill at Hawthorne River

For seventeen years, Hawthorne Mill has stood silent beside the river. Its machinery stopped in November 1919, its doors were locked, and the truth about its final night shift disappeared into rumours.

Some villagers remember an accident. Others remember missing workers. But the surviving records tell a different story.

When Mark Kura returns to Hawthorne, he begins investigating the secrets surrounding the abandoned mill and his father's troubled past. What begins as a search for answers soon uncovers missing names, altered documents, hidden identities, and a network of deception stretching back to the aftermath of the First World War.

As Mark follows the evidence, he discovers that the mill's silence was never accidental. Powerful people have spent years protecting what happened behind its locked doors, and revealing the truth could threaten everything they have built.

With the help of those who refuse to let the past remain buried, Mark must piece together a history deliberately erased from public memory.

But some secrets are more dangerous when they are finally uncovered.

*The Mill at Hawthorne River* is a historical mystery filled with family secrets, concealed identities, forgotten victims, and a determined search for justice.
