A Brief Synopsis of The Bridgeman:

Principal Emily Taylor feels right at home in the sweet little town of Burchill. Then she finds the body of murdered caretaker, Nathaniel Ryeburn, in her school. It brings back memories that Emily thought were buried and forgotten. Memories that force Emily into a dark mystery involving a secret diary, an illegal puppy mill and a murderer disguised as an ordinary citizen.

Terror rips through the quaint town of Burchill, and the investigation leads police to Emily’s own door and straight to her husband, Langford. It soon becomes obvious that many of Burchill’s residents are not who they seem. It’s time to find out who they really are -It’s time to find the killer.
