In the shadows of the past, the truth waits to be uncovered.
Private investigator Eleanor "Ellie" Hart is no stranger to cold cases, but when enigmatic artist Lila Monroe walks into her life, Ellie finds herself drawn into a mystery that hits closer to home than she ever expected. Lila is being tormented by anonymous letters accusing her of a crime she claims she didn’t commit—and the only clue points to the decade-old death of Cassandra Vale, a rising star in the art world whose fall from a balcony was ruled an accident.
As Ellie digs deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets, lies, and betrayal. Cassandra’s death was no accident, and the truth is buried beneath layers of art forgery, blackmail, and dangerous alliances. But the closer Ellie gets to the truth, the more she realizes that Lila is hiding something—something that could shatter the fragile trust growing between them.
With time running out and danger closing in, Ellie and Lila must confront the shadows of the past to expose the truth. But in a world where nothing is as it seems, can they trust each other—or even themselves?
