THE PENDANT IN THE DRAWER

THE PENDANT IN THE DRAWER
The Midnight Pine Café Mysteries
In the misty city of Baguio, Bella Rose Taname runs a cozy café where every customer has a story—and some secrets refuse to stay buried.
When Bella discovers a silver pine-tree pendant hidden among her mother’s belongings, she uncovers a decades-old mystery involving two childhood friends, a broken promise, and a missing family document.
Her mother, Elena, refuses to reveal the truth about Clarissa, the friend she lost long ago. But as Bella follows a trail of faded photographs, mysterious letters, and hidden clues, she realizes that someone has gone to great lengths to keep the past a secret.
Then the warnings begin.
Someone wants Bella to stop investigating. Someone knows what really happened. And the truth may reach further into her own family history than she ever imagined.
Some friendships are broken by lies. Some secrets survive for generations. And some mysteries begin with a single forgotten pendant.
