Helena Rilly, the wife of renowned artist Lucas Halden, is found dead.
The case remains unsolved. The truth remains untouched.
Now a widower, Lucas steps into the role of an investigator, determined to uncover the murderer and deliver justice. But truth is not revealed all at once it peels away slowly, layer by layer, each one more poisonous than the last.
As Lucas moves closer to answers, he finds himself drifting further from certainty. Every revelation carries betrayal. Every page leaves a stain. The night of the murder refuses to stay buried, and the closer he gets, the more the truth resists him.
This is not a story about justice.
It is a story about damage.
And when the truth finally surfaces, it arrives too late and it hurts.
But one thing remains certain:
Chapter 15 is a lie
