The Sinner Above

A body plummets from a penthouse on the Upper West Side during a violent thunderstorm, and investigator Mara Voss is certain the fall was no accident. The victim sat atop a fortune built on favors, blackmail, and the silences of powerful men, and now those men are circling the wreckage like sharks through amber rain. Among them stands Julian Farrar, a kingmaker whose empire is built on a single devastating secret, and whose wife, Celeste, watched the skyline go dark that night. Nico Santori, the fixer who knows where every body is buried, offers Mara access in exchange for silence she refuses to give. As Mara climbs forty-two floors of suspicion, she uncovers a chain of loyalty stretching from Idris Okafor's backroom deals to Hollis Dane's buried ledgers, each thread pulling tighter around a single question: who stood at the window, and who pushed. With a mysterious informant called Hush feeding her fragments of truth and time running out, Mara must choose between exposing the sinner above or protecting the one innocent life still tangled in the fall. One wrong step, and the rain washes everything clean.
