When retired detective Audrey Kilburn moves to a tranquil Swiss lakeside village, she hopes to leave behind the chaos and pain of her former life. But when a man's body washes ashore near the quiet marina, her instincts resurface-and so do the secrets the locals have buried deep. As Audrey navigates quirky neighbors, haunting memories, and a community reluctant to trust outsiders, she uncovers more than just clues. She finds whispers-of betrayal, old crimes, and connections that stretch far deeper than the lake. Can she trust her instincts without falling apart? Or will the truth pull her under?

She was made to be flawless. Sculpted from silence, refined by fire, reborn in the image of everything the world craves but can never touch. She came to New York to vanish.

And Lilith, who thought herself immovable, begins to bend. Desire turns into attention. Attention turns into obsession. And slowly, Lilith begins to slip. Not all at once. But in breathless, irreversible increments. She thought she knew how to control her image. She never expected to become the masterpiece.

Entirely against her will.
