Retired detective turned writer Axel Twigg thought he was hired to tell Olivia Arnold’s story. Then Olivia disappeared. The only thing she left behind was a trail—one that begins with a key connected to Calder Weiss, an accountant who supposedly died years ago after becoming entangled in the secrets surrounding Olivia’s husband, convicted murderer Victor Arnold. Axel has never believed Weiss’s death was what it seemed. Now the key gives him a reason to start digging again. What begins in an abandoned warehouse leads to phantom addresses, shell companies, missing shipments, and financial records that make no sense. Money is moving, but no one appears to be getting rich. Properties exist on paper but not in practice. And the deeper Axel follows the pattern, the clearer it becomes that he isn’t investigating a collection of old crimes. He’s looking at something that was built. Something organized. Something still operating. And buried inside it may be the truth about Victor Arnold’s conviction, Calder Weiss’s disappearance, and why Olivia chose Axel to follow the trail.
