Before the town had secrets, it had systems.

Berlin, New Hampshire, 1974. The mills are still running. The stacks still breathe over the valley. The Androscoggin River still carries the weight of everything built along its banks.

Twenty-two-year-old Julie Moreau knows the city by its working parts: the whistle, the shift changes, the bakery windows glowing against dirty snow, the motel rooms that never stay clean for long, the back stairs, side doors, and alleys women learn to notice before anyone teaches them why.

Julie cleans offices, boardinghouse rooms, and the places respectable men leave dirty. She keeps a blue notebook because paper is safer than speaking, and because in a town built on ledgers, routes, debts, and silence, writing something down may be the only way to survive it.

Then women begin vanishing into explanations.

A bus ticket south.
A locked room at the North Star Motel.
A missing office key.
A yellow ribbon near the lower river.
A girl in a green coat who knows too much and can barely speak at all.

At first, each clue looks small enough to dismiss. In Berlin, people have work in the morning. Families have reputations to protect. Men with money have friends in the right offices. The river has always taken things, and winter has always made accidents easy to believe.

But Julie is watching.

Her search pulls her through Main Street bakeries, church basements, boardinghouse kitchens, mill offices, bus station counters, motel ledgers, winter roads, and the old boom piers along the Androscoggin River — remnants of the river’s logging past, when timber was moved by routes older than the crimes later built on top of them.

Before the Burn Line moved women, it moved wood.

Before it became evidence, it was infrastructure.

And before anyone called it evil, it was useful.

As Julie follows the trail, she uncovers something larger and colder than one disappearance: a hidden system built from money, favors, debt, access, and official records men thought they controlled. Every locked room has a reason. Every missing page has a history. Every road points somewhere, even the ones no one admits exist.

But Berlin has another map.

North Country women keep keys in flour tins. Warnings in recipe boxes. Proof in coat linings, library cards, and rooms men were never meant to enter. They pass names through kitchens, mark danger with color, and remember what the official story leaves out.

Julie is not a detective. She is a cleaner, a daughter, a witness, and a young woman learning too late that being underestimated can be dangerous in both directions.

Because the closer she gets to the truth, the more the city tightens around her.

A police officer with a careful voice. A motel desk clerk who knows more than she says. A priest who realizes too late how easily concern can be turned into a leash. A powerful family with old debts to hide. A river man who knows the winter banks better than any map. And Victor Arsenault, a young man learning that a story does not have to be true to become the record.

On a January night when firelight hits the ice and the Androscoggin begins keeping its own account, Julie must decide what can be saved, what must be hidden, and what must be changed before the men chasing her understand what she has moved beyond their reach.

No witnesses means us.

The Burn Line is a standalone historical crime thriller that serves as the prequel to the world of Androscoggin After Dark: a dark, atmospheric North Country collection of mill-town secrets, missing women, corrupted records, river history, and one young woman who refuses to let the official version be the only story that survives.

Droit de rétractation

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
