Below the Surface

When investigative journalist Elena Ward receives a cryptic voicemail from her ex-husband hours before he vanishes, she is thrust into a world of secrets darker than she ever imagined. What begins as a desperate search for answers quickly spirals into a deadly conspiracy linking the city's mayor, a powerful developer, and the police force sworn to protect its people. As Elena digs deeper, she uncovers coded journals, staged suicides, and a smuggling operation hidden behind the glittering promise of urban renewal.
With every truth she uncovers, the shadows close tighter around her-and the line between ally and enemy blurs. Below the Surface is a pulse-pounding murder mystery and conspiracy thriller where betrayal waits in every alley, justice comes at a deadly cost, and the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.
