Mr. Bishop is dead.
Lady Alexandrina is the number one prime suspect, but also the biggest liar of anywhere. She lies, and schemes and manipulates. It's Mr Sterling's job to defend her, but how is he supposed to defend a woman who doesn't want to be defended?
However, Lady Alexandrina speaks more truth of morality than any other Mr. Sterling had met. She pokes at justice and truth, innocence and guilt. She exposes truth whilst lying herself.
Mr. Sterling has to deal with the morality of his system, the system he supports and upholds, and the morality of himself in this murder mystery based in pre war Europe, 1913.

No body, no crime.
When Randall Green, a powerful CEO, is found dead, Italian tech prodigy Luca Romano is convicted of his murder. The world believes the story is simple: a disgruntled employee seeking revenge. But Vivienne Reyes, a journalism student from a small town in Australia, suspects there's more to the case. Driven by curiosity and the promise of a university project, Vivienne interviews Luca, only to find herself caught in a web of lies, corruption, and danger. As she digs deeper, Vivienne discovers that Randall wasn't the visionary businessman the media painted him to be-he was something much darker. Luca, though enigmatic and cold, seems to have been trying to stop him. With threats mounting and lives at stake, Vivienne and Luca form a reluctant partnership to expose the truth and clear his name. But as Luca's icy façade begins to crack, and Vivienne's persistence turns into something more personal, the line between their mission and their growing connection starts to blur. In a world where power can bury the truth, can they bring justice to light before it's too late? This is a story of suspense, redemption, and unspoken feelings, where every step closer to the truth could be their last.

PROLOGUE Head investigator, Brent Sherwood found a very distraught young woman at the crime scene. She was hiding in the walk-in closet behind the hanging wardrobes of the dead man. Her eyes were wary and scared. He asked for her name. "Nikola", she whispered in thick Italian accent. Her voice was full of anguish and despair . "Are you the dead man's daughter?" Brent asked the young woman whose exotic beauty was covered with sweat, tears and great fear. She shook her head and mumbled, "Wife". There's a pang of regret that stuck in his throat. In that moment of disbelief, he immediately erased that first impression to console a bereaved woman. Whoever believes in love at first? Such foolishness should be deleted off his mind. His feelings must not cloud his judgement. He must act in accordance to his job even if it's his first time to admire a woman after 3 years in solitude. Did she kill her husband? That's the question he must unravel before focusing on his own personal motive.Zakończone
