Overview

""Belief's a luxury. Proof keeps you alive."" When the faces in a stranger's manga match the ones in his nightmares, private investigator Neil Ames knows the past hasn't stayed buried-it's been drawn in ink. In the rain-infused Pacific Northwest city of Destiny Pointe, a case shaped as much by memory as evidence begins to unravel. Emily Granger was murdered twenty years ago. Or so the official story says. Now a decorated homicide detective is dead, and his final message is addressed to Neil. A second autopsy. A forged death certificate. A case once thought closed begins tearing apart the life Neil fought to rebuild. With his resourceful confidante Octavia Clarke, still recovering from a near-fatal attack during their last case, Neil follows a ciphered path laced with danger-from the gritty shipyards of Destiny Pointe to Tokyo's watchful towers, and into the cold, high reaches of Khan Tengri on the New Silk Trail. Each clue exposes a larger design ... a global alliance that thrives on collapse and hides its true intentions behind the mask of innovation. Trapped between a missing identity, a rising body count, and a manga mirroring reality, Neil must face the truth that shattered his life-and decide if redemption is even possible. It started with a lie. The reckoning's coming.

Author Information

Swinton Woolfe began writing after she'd read every book in her small-town library...open just one day a week. With nothing left to borrow, she started writing stories for herself, inspired by boredom, curiosity, and an enduring love of PBS Masterpiece Mysteries. An adventurer at heart, she has worked as a social worker, radio news editor, public affairs broadcaster, actor, director, and artistic director of a Shakespearean theatre company. A lifelong Pacific Northwest resident, she now lives in Washington State's San Juan Islands, where she is often found walking her dog, Sherlock, while plotting the next book in the Neil Ames, PI series.
