An Abrupt Departure

A MYSTERY FROM USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR, P.D. WORKMAN THAT WILL KEEP YOU TURNING THE PAGES!

An abandoned apartment holds deadly secrets.

When Graham Hall, owner of “Hall it Away” junk removal services, steps into an abandoned apartment, he expects to take out the trash—literally. But what he uncovers is anything but garbage. What he finds sends chills down his spine: personal items like family photos, passports, and essential medication that no one would leave behind willingly. As he digs deeper into the job, he uncovers a hidden journal filled with entries that suggest a growing threat.

The apartment is riddled with contradictions—priceless electronics and jewelry untouched, neighbors and landlords offering conflicting accounts of the tenants’ sudden disappearance. Graham’s curiosity spirals into obsession as he pieces together the unsettling puzzle.
