Excerpt

The rain battered the window, each drop a staccato beat against the silence of Miranda’s empty apartment. She stared at the file spread across her desk, the edges curled with the weight of her obsession. Each photograph, each scribbled note, was another piece of a puzzle she had begun assembling the night she found Peter’s phone—hidden beneath the loose floorboard, where only she would know to look.

Miranda’s fingers trembled as she traced the outline of the last text he ever sent, its cryptic message haunting her: “If anything happens, look for the truth in the shadows.” She’d spent weeks in those shadows, chasing rumors and half-truths, pushing herself into spaces where grief and rage blurred into something sharper, something dangerous.

Tonight, the answer felt close, hovering in the electric hush before the storm breaks. She reached for the photograph, the one that didn’t belong, and in its glossy surface, Miranda saw the reflection of the person she was becoming—not the widow, not the journalist, but the avenger.
