Lillian

A Novel by Adam S. Sikes 

Lillian Beckett doesn’t believe in fate. But when she speaks, people listen. And sometimes, they act. 

After vanishing from Ravens Hollow Island with secrets no one was meant to uncover, Lillian has built a new life in Olympia—quiet, solitary, and tightly controlled. By day, she is an enigma, slipping through the city unnoticed. By night, her voice drifts through the airwaves, weaving stories that ensnare her listeners. But someone is listening too closely. 

Philip Kessler has spent years chasing ghosts—none more elusive than the truth behind his lost love’s disappearance. Now, his search leads him to The Hollow, a podcast whose whispers feel too familiar. And at the center of it all is Lillian Beckett.

Detective Greer, newly transferred from Seattle PD and worn thin by cold cases and dead ends, has no patience for Philip’s wild theories—until the bodies start piling up. Unconnected victims, senseless violence, no clear motive.

As Olympia spirals into chaos, Lillian watches from the shadows, waiting. She is curious how this will end. 

But you already know.
