Welcome to Bleeding Hearts Valley, a standalone series of interconnected thrillers in one twisted midwestern suburb.

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.

Praise for P.D. Workman

"I'll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on."

"Every book by PD Workman that I've read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones... this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors."

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

"P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight."

Immerse yourself in this gripping thriller where every discovery leads to more questions than answers. Will Graham unravel the mystery before it's too late? Or will his pursuit of truth trap him in a dangerous game he never signed up for? Perfect for fans of suspenseful reads that keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.

Dumpster dive into this suspense-filled thriller today and uncover whether truth or danger awaits at every turn!

Keep coming back to Bleeding Hearts Valley to uncover more dark secrets. But before moving in remember, you can never trust your neighbors.
