About the book
A wealthy businessman known for his daring nature went from poverty to great success. However, success always has a cost, especially if it comes at the expense of others.
Following the death of a former hotel guest in a waterfront bar, police initially deemed it a suicide. Rumors circulated that his carelessness led to a shipwreck involving his company's vessel, cargo, and crew. The weight of such guilt would overwhelm most, but when signs of foul play emerge, Cleo is determined to bring the culprit to justice.
As Harry Armitage pursues a case linked to the same suspects, their paths intersect and tensions rise. New suspects keep cropping up, complicating matters further. With the victim's murky past, alternating between tyrant and visionary, it's challenging to separate truth from fiction.
As Cleo and Harry uncover layers of deceit, one truth remains constant—the past sticks with a person even in death, a lesson Harry understands all too well.
