When murder meets marketing, things get complicated fast.
Lola Russo never planned to become a detective. She's just a copywriter at BrightSide Technologies, a shiny New York startup that claims to "bring empathy to AI." Most days, she translates tech jargon into human language and survives on sarcasm, cold brew, and her French bulldog, Bolt - a small grey creature with golden eyes and a talent for judging people.
Her roommate, Nina, believes everything can be fixed with therapy and rosé. Lola's not so sure. Especially after the morning she and Bolt arrive at the office early and find Jared Foster, BrightSide's charming but suspiciously perfect strategist, dead in a glass conference room.
The police call it an accident.
The CEO calls it a tragedy.
Lola calls it bullshit.
Soon she's knee-deep in secrets BrightSide's cheerful branding can't hide - broken security cameras, fake data leaks, and colleagues who know more than they're saying. Alongside Bolt's uncanny instincts and her own relentless curiosity, Lola starts untangling a web of ambition, betrayal, and lies that run straight to the top.
But in a company built on teaching machines how to fake empathy, figuring out who's human - and who's pretending - might be the hardest part of all.
Witty, fast-paced, and full of dark humor, Be the Light is a mystery for anyone who's ever rolled their eyes in a team meeting and thought, someone in this office could totally kill someone.

My hoodie obscure half of my face so I doesn't know if this strange woman saw my flat expression. "I am sorry. I've been staring at you for a while which I know was totally creepy but I swear I am not. I notice that you look lonely and sad so I picked this flower and hopes that your day will become a little bit lighter." She pushed the flower a little so I was forced to take it. "Huh you're still not happy. Wait please." The redhead run towards a bush that has a sign that clearly said "Don't pick any flowers. Fine $50." After she picked a handful. She runs back to me. "Here." she offered the newly stealed flowers to me. "oh I also have a chocolate bar. do you want one?" The only thing that's running on my mind was who's this strange woman and can I take her home?
