The phone rang, shattering the unsettling silence. Sarah jumped, her heart hammering against her ribs. The detective's voice, polite but insistent, confirmed her suspicions. The house wasn’t just a house; it was a crime scene, a place where a beloved artist had met their end. A sinking feeling filled her.
