The Cartographer's Confession

At 5:47 a.m. on the 67th floor of a glass tower, building manager Diego Renteria discovers a cartographer's confession hidden where only someone who understood the building's blueprints could have placed it. The document, part map, part sworn testimony, ties together a senator's campaign, a developer's empire, a vanishing, and a murder no one will admit occurred. Seventeen people are now caught in the cartographer's web, including Rae Kowalski, who must reckon with her late father's final work; Julian Voss, whose glass tower holds the key; and Detective Ito, who learns the case has been quietly closed before she ever opened it. As Sofia Reyes races to publish what the city wants suppressed, Lena Crane realizes the man she married was not the man she buried. Marcus Pryce offers protection at a price, Dr. Hannah Vu holds evidence she cannot destroy, and Garrett Lim begins to understand why his colleague died on page one of a story no one wants read. Every thread converges on the same confession, the same floor, the same thirteen minutes of darkness. Eleven people know what really happened. Only one will speak.
