The Suspect
The Suspect
Charles Aits
A camping trip meant to last two weeks turns into a nightmare. When one of their friends is found dead deep in the woods, suspicion falls instantly on Izen — the last person seen with him. No witnesses. No weapon. Only fear, paranoia, and a group beginning to tear itself apart. As accusations turn violent and trust collapses, Izen is pushed into isolation. But in a place where everyone is trapped together, silence becomes more dangerous than the truth. Was it really Izen?
