Emerald: A Claire Holloway Mystery
Not yet published
Expected 17 Nov 26Truth hurts. And sometimes it kills.
Claire Holloway thought returning the millions her late superstar-pastor husband stole would finally repair the damage he left behind.
Instead, it makes her the prime suspect in a murder.
When Doris Flaherty—the attorney overseeing the restitution—is found dead on Claire's front porch with evidence pointing directly at her, Claire becomes the target of a relentless manhunt. Branded a killer by the town she returned to save, she disappears before the police can lock her away.
As regulators close in on Jasper's troubled bank and long-buried secrets surface, Claire follows a trail of lies through abandoned churches, hidden records, dead drops, and dangerous alliances. Each discovery brings her closer to the truth behind Doris's murder—and closer to a devastating realization.
Because exposing the killer won't just clear her name.
It could destroy the town she sacrificed everything to save.
Now Claire must decide how much truth Jasper can survive—and how much she's willing to lose to tell it.
EMERALD is a suspenseful mystery about justice, accountability, and the cost of doing the right thing when every option carries a price.
