The Glass Witness

At seven o'clock, journalist Maren Holloway stepped into Voss Tower's glittering ballroom and started counting the minutes until she could leave. Ninety-three minutes in, her press badge still catching light at every wrong angle, she raised her camera for what would become known as The Last Photograph. By midnight, a body lies among the crystal chandeliers and polished marble, and Maren's image is the only evidence of what happened in the seconds before the world came undone. As the city's most powerful family closes ranks, she is pulled into an investigation no one authorized , and no one wants her to survive. Devin Voss and his sister Lila circle the scene with practiced smiles. Art gallery owner Sloane Bishop hides more than inventory. Fixer Cass Donnelly is already scrubbing the room clean of fingerprints, favors, and inconvenient truths. With journalist Felix Wren chasing the same story, attorney Rosario Granville advising silence, and Detective Karl Obermann asking questions he already knows the answers to, Maren must untangle a web of wealth, secrecy, and buried photographs before the truth disappears for good. Every clue points somewhere dangerous. Every ally could be the next subject of The Last Photograph. And someone in the room is already deciding whose image will be the final frame.
