     Painter's Bay: Buried Bones
Release date is September 24, 2024


To secure her future, she must unearth the bones of her past.
Ever since she was a little girl, Rio Salo has honed her skills in the kitchen of the Painter’s Bay Hotel. Through her tireless dedication, the family-owned restaurant flourished, becoming a beacon of culinary excellence. But then her grandfather passes away, and her mother mysteriously vanishes. Now, with her father slowly dying of cancer, the once-thriving hotel has shuttered its doors, putting Rio's dreams on hold. Taking care of a father who has always treated her with contempt, Rio carries the weight of the world on her shoulders. So, when two enigmatic men arrive at the hotel—one seriously wounded and the other refusing to involve the authorities—her heavy world takes a turn for the unexpected. As suspicion of a local murder falls on the mysterious brothers, Rio can’t help but think there’s more than meets the eye. Diving deeper into dark events of a world where trust is scarce and every shadow hides a secret, she must find the strength to uncover the buried bones of a past long forgotten. Join Rio on a journey where the past and present collide in a suspense-filled historical tale. Can she unravel the secrets that could restore her future, or will the shadows of history consume them all? Discover the truth in this gripping mystery today.
