The Alibi Lover

The city is beautiful because it’s curated. So are the stories it tells. Cass Vale knows procedure. She knows how narratives are built—how testimony becomes “truth,” how records become reputations. But when a single minute vanishes from a critical security feed, the case stops being about what happened and becomes about what can be proven. Then the file arrives: already downloaded, already present—an “original” that overrides consent. As footage is edited, timelines are manufactured, and policy begins to feel like a cage, Mara is pushed into a role she never agreed to play: the woman who must explain herself in the format the system prefers. In a glam-urban world of private clubs, wellness empires, and clean reputations, the most dangerous weapon isn’t a gun—it’s access. THE ALIBI LOVER is a psychological thriller with procedural menace, where desire collides with control and power hides behind a polished, innocent face. note: The ebook is marked accessible and meet WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility standards.
